django-server-timing

Django middleware that exposed collected metrics into HTTP Server Timing header.

This headers is used by browser to display several metrics into the Timing tab of the Network interface. Right now, this header is not supported properlly by all browser. It works pretty good on Chrome 65+ and on Firefox there is a bug report.

It doesn't effect unsupported browser.

This middleware will send the entire header value since not all browsers supports sending it via HTTP Trailer.
