Yeah speed varies depending on time of day and whether or not your Heroku instances are being subjected to an influx of HN traffic.

:-)

Cranking up the Dynos to keep up.

Which BTW, that's the funny thing, Heroku is super duper slow, and I still manage to run a reasonable fast news website.

Here's response times under HN load: https://s3.amazonaws.com/bradgessler/Eu1cKE24dpKjTkqNcK3qPqH...

99th percentile is at 175ms.

If your page is only updated once a day, why not render a static html site and put it on a host like netlify?

This. There is no need for a cloud server. Even better get a 10GB port private server from Interserver and stop using Heroku.

Hadn’t heard of Interserver before. How are they?

Really good for the price. I think you can get 150TB bandwidth on 10G port with a dedicated server for around $55/month.

Oops that was on the Mobile tab. Both score 100 on Desktop.
