salsa.debian.org feels sluggish

Working with salsa.debian.org often feels sluggish. This seems to be consistent and reproducible with webpagetest.org, which reports a first render at 1.8 seconds on a GitLab.com page and 3.1 seconds on an equivalent salsa.debian.org page.

Sometimes salsa.debian.org is unusually slow, but I don't have any metrics to back that up. It does however seem that many DDs like me feel slowed down a bit by a slowly responding salsa.debian.org.

Is there something that could be done easily, perhaps have a bigger instance for running the website?
