There are some super common reasons your Laravel app might be slow.

This course shows you how to avoid speed issues with simple changes you can implement immediately.


Built-in Tools

We cover some built-in caches that Laravel provides (and how they work) to help speed things up in production.

Querying the Database

How you query the database is especially important. We cover avoiding the n+1 problem and how to handle queries that return lots of data.

Database Indexing

Adding indexes to your database is one of the most effective performance tools you can use. See how to create them here.

Object Caching

Using a object cache such as redis can help us avoid making expensive database queries on every page request. See how I implement caching in-code!
