Hi,

I currently have one dyno for my new app. I have read the doc and I
understand that the dyno will be unloaded after a short time. That's
perfectly understandable for a free app.

The problem is that after my dyno has been unloaded, the first request
always times out. It never succeeds.

To be more specific: the browser never gets a response. I am not
getting a 502 or any other HTTP status back.

I can tell that the first request is successfully loading the app
because if I give up waiting and hit Refresh in the browser, the page
loads quickly. The problem is the first request never responded.

I'm concerned that crawlers will never index me because they'll never
try "hitting refresh."

I've read Heroku's "Error Pages" and "Peformance" and FAQ pages but
haven't found anything that would tell me I'm doing something wrong.
This is a simple app. It's not going into a long loop or doing
anything with heavy computation or calling an external web service
while handling a request.

The Heroku FAQ under "What is dyno idling?" says "When a request comes
in to an idled app your dyno will be spun back up, causing a delay for
this first request." How long is the delay? I've tried waiting more
than a minute and still got no response.

Thanks.

Brian
