Laravel's N+1 query problem is the most frequent performance bottleneck in production applications[src]. We eliminate cascading database queries using Laravel 12's automatic eager loading feature[src], which prevents lazy loading loops without requiring manual with() calls. Our systematic approach identifies unoptimised joins, implements strategic database indexes on foreign keys and frequently-queried columns, and replaces inefficient query patterns that cause table scans. The result is measurable query reduction of up to 99%[src], transforming applications from hundreds of queries per request to single-digit counts whilst maintaining all functionality.

Our Performance Optimisation Process

Systematic profiling, measurement, and iterative improvement until targets are achieved.

Performance Profiling & Analysis

Install monitoring tools (Telescope, Horizon, New Relic) to measure baseline performance. Identify slow queries, memory bottlenecks, and resource-intensive operations. Profile code execution to pinpoint CPU and memory hotspots that require optimisation.

Database & Caching Optimisation

Eliminate N+1 queries with eager loading, add database indexes, optimise complex joins, and implement database query caching. Deploy multi-layer caching strategy using Redis for sessions, query result caching, response caching, full-page caching, and CDN caching for static assets.

Infrastructure Tuning & Scaling

Optimise PHP-FPM workers, tune MySQL/PostgreSQL configuration, configure OPcache for code caching, and implement horizontal scaling with load balancers. Right-size infrastructure to handle target traffic whilst minimising costs.

Performance Drives Revenue

Every millisecond counts when users are evaluating your application.

Faster Page Loads

Faster loads
Sub-200ms response times improve user experience, reduce bounce rates, and increase conversion rates. Faster apps feel more professional and reliable.

Cost Reduction

Better efficiency
Optimised applications handle more traffic with fewer servers. Reduce infrastructure costs by 50% or more while improving performance.

Scalability Headroom

5x+
Performance optimisation creates capacity for growth. Handle traffic spikes, seasonal peaks, and rapid user growth without emergency infrastructure upgrades.

Better SEO Rankings

+20%
Google prioritises fast-loading sites in search results. Core Web Vitals directly impact search rankings and visibility.
