Thanks for working on this.

I tried it briefly with a simple package name, and it took about 5
seconds to display the result. I'm curious why it takes so long, since
all relevant data should be available statically.

May I suggest to take the change and remove the package version from the
URL path. Thus http://guix-website-test.cbaines.net/packages/gcc-objc
would simply show all versions of "gcc-objc".
