Fast Laravel - your Laravel app, but fast

For Paid User Without URL Shortener:

ABOUT THE COURSE:

Processing each HTTP request will always take time—no matter how meticulously you optimize the code or SQL queries. The biggest delay in the request lifecycle is waiting for a response from your Laravel application. Therefore, if you truly want to speed up the project, the focus should shift: not only optimize but also cache.

In this course, you will learn how to radically enhance the performance of a Laravel application through proper page caching and the use of Cloudflare. Most requests can be cached—not just static resources like CSS, JavaScript, and images, but the pages themselves, if the application is appropriately prepared.

Caching is a skill that many have forgotten, relying on scaling and cloud solutions. However, it allows for maximum speed without complicating the infrastructure.

The course author went through this journey in practice: increased the percentage of cacheable pages from 6% to 99%, reducing response time to less than 40 ms—all on a minimal server configuration.

In the course you will:

Understand how caching works and how to use Cloudflare

Optimize and cache static resources

Configure a Laravel application for page caching

Learn to quickly adapt pages for caching

Master advanced caching strategies

By the end of the course, you will have a clear understanding and a ready set of tools to significantly speed up your Laravel application—even using the free features of Cloudflare.
