  3. django-debug-toolbar

    A configurable set of panels that display various debug information about the current request/response.

    https://github.com/jazzband/django-debug-toolbar is also pretty good, but down to personal preference which of the 2 you choose (I prefer silk).

  4. PgHero

    A performance dashboard for Postgres

    If you are using PostgreSQL you can enable logging of slow queries and connect to the server with pghero (https://github.com/ankane/pghero) and check top queries by the number of requests and total usage time. Also, you can just enable logging of queries in Django, and on each request, you will have a list of queries on development, sometimes it's just a missing select_related of prefetch_related to increase performance, or you need to create a complex index.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
