  1. Views not rendering: Check if your views file is in the correct location, and that you've imported it correctly. Also, make sure that your view function is returning a HttpResponse object.

  2. Templates not loading: Make sure that you have created a templates directory inside your app folder and that your template files are saved with a .html extension. Also, check if the path to the templates directory in settings.py file is correct.

  3. URLs not routing correctly: Check if your urls.py file is properly configured and that each URL pattern has a unique name.

  4. CSS and JavaScript not loading: Make sure that your static files are being served correctly by adding STATIC_URL and STATICFILES_DIRS to settings.py, and then using {% load static %} in your HTML templates.

  5. Debugging difficult due to complex code base: Use logging to debug your application. Log the variables and data flow of each function or method for easier debugging.

  6. User authentication issues: Ensure that you have correctly set up Django's authentication system, including login, logout, and registration views.

  7. Performance issues: Check if there are any inefficiencies in your code by using Django's built-in profiling tools or third-party tools such as New Relic.

  8. Cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks: Use Django's built-in template filters and tags to escape user input and avoid XSS attacks.

  9. Security issues: Make sure that your code is secure by following Django's best practices such as using HTTPS, keeping Django updated, and using a content security policy.

  10. Internationalization (i18n) and localization (l10n): Use Django's built-in i18n and l10n features to make your application available in multiple languages.
