Shields: Matrix badges seem slow

[julienw]

This is a follow-up to #4878.

I'd like to add the following badge to my github README:
https://img.shields.io/matrix/profiler:mozilla.org?server_fqdn=matrix.org&label=matrix

But this takes 8s at the moment, and as a result github's proxy times out on it.

I'm opening a new issue to track this as requested in #4878 :-)

Thanks for your great work!

I've been told that using directly Mozilla's matrix instance works better: eg https://img.shields.io/matrix/profiler:mozilla.org?server_fqdn=mozilla.modular.im&label=matrix

I think the issue was because of not using the "home" server for the channel.
sorry for the disturbance!

Hi! Would it be worth adding something to the documentation about this? Contributions welcome :)

I feel like the documentation already talks about using the right server, but it wasn't working for me because I didn't use the right one and that's why I ended up using matrix.org...
