Slow pages cost you visitors and sales. These eight changes make most Laravel applications noticeably faster.
Speed is a feature. Here are the improvements we reach for first when a Laravel application feels slow.
Fix the real bottlenecks
- Avoid N+1 queries. Load related data with
with()instead of querying inside loops. - Add database indexes to columns you filter and sort by.
- Select only what you need instead of loading entire tables.
- Paginate long lists rather than loading everything.
Use the caches Laravel gives you
- Run
config:cache,route:cacheandview:cachein production. - Cache expensive queries and API calls with Redis or the file cache.
Move slow work out of the request
- Send emails, generate PDFs and call external services in queued jobs.
Serve it well
- Use a recent PHP version with OPcache enabled.
- Optimise images and serve static files through a CDN.
Measure first
Tools such as Laravel Telescope or a simple query log show where the time actually goes. Fix the slowest thing, measure again and repeat.
The bottom line
Most slow Laravel apps are fixed by a handful of database and caching changes, not by buying a bigger server. If your site feels sluggish, we can audit it and tell you exactly what to change.
