 <blockquote> <p>I assume that you don't use nginx to serve static assets in development? Runserver can serve static files, but very much slower than nginx, which becomes a problem once you have more than a single web site visitor at a time. You can remove the nginx alias for static and reload nginx to let runserver serve the files, to confirm whether it's a problem in the nginx config.

This answered my question, though it did not solve the problem itself! Thanks anyway !</p>
