django-debug-toolbar-template-timings
A django-debug-toolbar panel that shows you template rendering times for Django
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
No, unless you are actively maintaining a Django 1.8 project and need to profile template performance. The package is abandoned (last updated 2018), explicitly incompatible with Django 1.9+, and will not work with modern Django versions. If you are on a current Django version, seek an actively maintained alternative or use Django's built-in template profiling tools.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- Requires Django 1.8 or below; does not work with Django 1.9 and above.
- Requires django-debug-toolbar to be installed and configured.
- Installation is straightforward with no runtime dependencies, but the package is abandoned—last release was 2018-02-24 and last commit 2018-03-06.

What it is and what it does
This is a panel extension for Django Debug Toolbar that breaks down template rendering time in development. It hooks into Django's template system to measure how long each template takes to render, including templates pulled in via {% extends %} and {% include %} tags, and displays the results in the debug toolbar interface.
The package is designed for Django 1.8 and earlier only—it explicitly does not work with Django 1.9 and above. It has no runtime dependencies beyond Django Debug Toolbar itself. The panel adds approximately 10% overhead during development and can be configured to ignore specific template patterns. It is no longer maintained; the last release was in February 2018.
Use it for
- Identify which templates are slowest to render in a legacy Django 1.8 project during development
- Distinguish between queries executed during template rendering versus queries executed elsewhere in the request
- Profile nested template hierarchies to find performance bottlenecks in template inheritance chains
- Debug template rendering performance in development without adding instrumentation code to templates

Installation is straightforward with no runtime dependencies, but the package is abandoned—last release was 2018-02-24 and last commit 2018-03-06. It explicitly supports only Django 1.8 and below; Django 1.9 and above do not work. Use only in legacy Django projects still on 1.8.

Pylint is a static code analyzer that checks Python code for errors, enforces coding standards, detects code smells, and suggests refactoring improvements without executing the code.
Install it if you need thorough code analysis with inference-based bug detection; if speed is critical, consider pairing it with faster linters like ruff for…
yamllint checks YAML files for syntax errors, style violations, and structural problems like key repetition, line length, trailing spaces, and indentation issues.
ipdb is an IPython-enabled debugger that replaces Python's standard pdb with tab completion, syntax highlighting, and better introspection while maintaining the same pdb interface.
Memray is a memory profiler for Python that traces every function call to track memory allocations across Python code, native extensions, and the interpreter itself, generating reports like flame graphs and tables to analyze memory usage.
