[Solved] How to speed up my Rails 4 app on Heroku (tips for a n00b)?


(It probably would have been better if you asked about a specific part of performance you want to improve upon).

Here’s a tip, use New Relic to ping your site and check that is still up and running:

  1. you will be alerted to any issues
  2. your Heroku app won’t go to sleep which will increase its response time as it won’t have to ‘wake up’ if no one has viewed your site for a while.

Plus use New Relic anyway as it has a wide range of features that are really useful for monitoring database requests, response times, etc.
