The whole site's behind a user login page, but perhaps we could allow some pages to be public, eg gene and variant pages?

Would be nice to have before paper comes out, so people can use it a bit before registering - could be just a general annotation / reference site

Need to handle menus I think as the first step: see https://github.com/SACGF/variantgrid_private/issues/2911

Should do behind a setting so that can disable for Shariant etc

The slowest part of any page is the grids, which are usually not cached as they have user-specific permission.

We could make separate grid URLs for public only that are cached (just internally call other code with no user) - this would drastically speed up most pages
