Heroku instance is sometimes slow

[empeje]

I know for a fact that Heroku's free account might sleep if there's no activity.

I extensively using this https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/, in my project, but sometimes the response of the Heroku instance is too slow which possibly due to startup time. Can you guys confirm which instance/dyno type you use in this Heroku instance https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/?

I don't have a slow startup because the service is too popular. It's running 24/7.

Thank you for your answer @Rob--W, I know your service is popular, but I might be 1% minority here, I found out that it sometimes slow to load, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Not sure if it's coming from the cors-anywhere or the service I'm trying to access which is the TinyUrl, which is popular as well.

Just so you know, I set up a NewRelic synthetic just now to ping the service if it's up 99.99%.

The service is too popular. Sometimes the public demo cannot keep up with the demand.
