Overview ​

Why Performance Matters ​

  • ✅ Better user experience
  • ✅ Higher search rankings
  • ✅ Lower server costs
  • ✅ Increased conversions
  • ✅ Reduced bounce rate

Performance Metrics ​

Key Metrics:

  • Page load time
  • Time to First Byte (TTFB)
  • Database query time
  • Asset load time
  • Server response time

Caching Strategies ​

Application Caching ​

Laravel Cache ​

Cache Drivers:

  • File: Default, simple
  • Database: Database-based
  • Redis: Fast, recommended
  • Memcached: Fast, distributed

Configuration:

php
// config/cache.php
'default' => env('CACHE_DRIVER', 'redis'),

Cache Commands ​

Clear Cache:

bash
php artisan cache:clear
php artisan config:clear
php artisan route:clear
php artisan view:clear

Cache Configuration:

bash
php artisan config:cache
php artisan route:cache
php artisan view:cache

OPcache ​

PHP OPcache ​

Enable in php.ini:

ini
opcache.enable=1
opcache.memory_consumption=128
opcache.interned_strings_buffer=8
opcache.max_accelerated_files=4000
opcache.revalidate_freq=2

Benefits:

  • Faster PHP execution
  • Reduced memory usage
  • Better performance

Browser Caching ​

Cache Headers ​

Configure:

  • Set cache headers
  • Expiration times
  • ETags
  • Last-Modified headers

Database Optimization ​

Query Optimization ​

Efficient Queries ​

Best Practices:

  • Use indexes
  • Avoid N+1 queries
  • Use eager loading
  • Limit results
  • Use pagination

Eager Loading ​

Example:

php
// Bad: N+1 queries
$posts = Post::all();
foreach ($posts as $post) {
    echo $post->author->name;
}

// Good: Eager loading
$posts = Post::with('author')->get();

Indexes ​

Add Indexes ​

Common Indexes:

  • Foreign keys
  • Search fields
  • Sort fields
  • Frequently queried fields

Create Index:

php
Schema::table('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {
    $table->index('slug');
    $table->index('status');
});

Database Configuration ​

MySQL Optimization ​

my.cnf Settings:

ini
innodb_buffer_pool_size = 1G
innodb_log_file_size = 256M
query_cache_size = 64M
max_connections = 200

Asset Optimization ​

CSS/JavaScript ​

Minification ​

Production Build:

bash
npm run build

Features:

  • Minifies CSS/JS
  • Removes comments
  • Optimizes code
  • Tree shaking

Code Splitting ​

Benefits:

  • Load only needed code
  • Faster initial load
  • Better caching
  • Reduced bundle size

Image Optimization ​

Image Compression ​

Tools:

  • ImageOptim
  • TinyPNG
  • Squoosh
  • WebP conversion

Best Practices:

  • Compress before upload
  • Use appropriate formats
  • Responsive images
  • Lazy loading

Image Formats ​

Choose Wisely:

  • JPG: Photos, complex images
  • PNG: Graphics, transparency
  • WebP: Modern browsers, best compression
  • SVG: Icons, simple graphics

Asset CDN ​

Use CDN ​

Benefits:

  • Faster delivery
  • Reduced server load
  • Global distribution
  • Better caching

Configuration:

  • Upload assets to CDN
  • Update asset URLs
  • Configure CDN settings

CDN Configuration ​

Setting Up CDN ​

Choose CDN Provider ​

Options:

  • Cloudflare
  • AWS CloudFront
  • MaxCDN
  • KeyCDN

Configure CDN ​

Steps:

  1. Create CDN account
  2. Add your domain
  3. Configure settings
  4. Update DNS
  5. Test delivery

CDN Best Practices ​

  1. Cache Static Assets:

    • Images
    • CSS/JS
    • Fonts
    • Videos

  2. Cache Headers:

    • Set appropriate TTL
    • Use cache control
    • Configure expiration

  3. Compression:

    • Enable Gzip
    • Enable Brotli
    • Compress assets

Server Optimization ​

PHP Optimization ​

PHP Configuration ​

php.ini Settings:

ini
memory_limit = 256M
max_execution_time = 300
upload_max_filesize = 64M
post_max_size = 64M

PHP-FPM ​

Pool Configuration:

ini
pm = dynamic
pm.max_children = 50
pm.start_servers = 10
pm.min_spare_servers = 5
pm.max_spare_servers = 20

Web Server Optimization ​

Nginx ​

Configuration:

  • Enable Gzip
  • Configure caching
  • Optimize worker processes
  • Use HTTP/2

Apache ​

Configuration:

  • Enable mod_deflate
  • Configure caching
  • Optimize modules
  • Use HTTP/2

Server Resources ​

Monitoring ​

Monitor:

  • CPU usage
  • Memory usage
  • Disk I/O
  • Network I/O

Scaling ​

Options:

  • Vertical scaling (more resources)
  • Horizontal scaling (more servers)
  • Load balancing
  • Database replication

Best Practices ​

General Optimization ​

  1. Regular Monitoring:

    • Monitor performance
    • Identify bottlenecks
    • Track metrics
    • Optimize continuously

  2. Test Performance:

    • Use tools (PageSpeed, GTmetrix)
    • Test regularly
    • Compare before/after
    • Set performance goals

  3. Optimize Continuously:

    • Regular reviews
    • Update optimizations
    • Remove unused code
