1
Run tests in parallel on all 2 CPUs
Tests run one at a time: 26.1s of test time on a 2-CPU machine. With pytest-xdist this could take about 13.1s.
High
Parallelism
ci:github-actions:test
13.05 s
per run
Fix: pip install pytest-xdist, then run pytest -n auto (add it to addopts, or only in CI). pytest-django creates a separate test database per worker automatically.
Details
Tests must not share state: files in fixed paths, ports, a shared database without per-worker names, or module globals. Run with -p randomly first to shake out order dependencies.
2
Use plain static file storage in tests
Static file storage/manifest handling costs 11.1s.
High
App code
ci:github-actions:test
11.14 s
per run
Fix: In test settings use STORAGES["staticfiles"] = {"BACKEND": "django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.StaticFilesStorage"} so templates don't need a manifest.

Disable django-debug-toolbar in tests
django-debug-toolbar is installed in the test settings and costs 6.4s.
High
App code

6.42 s
per run
Fix: Only add debug_toolbar to INSTALLED_APPS and MIDDLEWARE when not testing (e.g. `if DEBUG and not TESTING:`).

Repeated queries (N+1) in the code under test
27 tests run the same query 10+ times, e.g. 180x in test_seed_demo. N+1 queries slow the tests and production alike.
High

3.34 s
per run
Fix: Django: fetch related rows in one query with select_related() for foreign keys and prefetch_related() for reverse/many-to-many relations, then lock the count in with assertNumQueries (or pytest-django's django_assert_num_queries).
Details
This changes application code, so it speeds up production too; the tests stay as they are.

CI vs local
Tests that are much slower in CI, and whyUpload profiles from CI and from a developer machine to compare them.
