How can I optimize Django signals for better performance?

To optimize Django signals, consider using the dispatch_uid to prevent duplicate signal connections and avoid unnecessary processing.

What are some common pitfalls when using signals?

Common pitfalls include creating circular dependencies, not disconnecting signals, and overusing signals for tasks that can be handled more efficiently.

Can you give an example of a performance issue caused by signals?

Sure! If you have a signal that triggers a heavy database operation on every save, it can slow down your application significantly.

How can I test if my signals are affecting performance?

You can use Django's built-in time module to measure the execution time of your signal handlers and identify bottlenecks.
