Laravel Page Speed:– You just built a beautiful website using Laravel and have put countless hours of work into its design and development, and after all that hard work, your website is not loading fast enough. Or, as we can say that the page speed of your website is very low, and that’s what makes it slow.
Now the problem could be anything from poorly written code to images or elements that are too large for the page. Google will mark down such a website, and it will affect your website visitors' experience as well. So how to cop with this? This is what we will be talking about today in this article. So let’s start
Laravel Page Speed: Optimize Your Laravel Application
To start with, you can diagnose your website using any of the tools, such as the PageSpeed Insights tool, where you enter your website URL into the bar and get to know about factors affecting your website, and then take appropriate action and correct that.
But while using Laravel, you don’t need to think about all this hassle. What you need is the package created by the Vinikius Labs for optimizing your Laravel site, which automatically optimizes rendered HTML and JSON/XML payloads without modifying your business payloads. According to the official documentation of the Laravel Page Speed by Renato,
Simple package to minify HTML output on demand which results in a 35%+ optimization.
This package is based on Google’s mod_pagespeed and provides the following options:
1. Dual scope: optimizes rendered HTML and JSON/XML payloads without modifying your business payloads.
2. Composable stack: enable only the middleware you need through config/laravel-page-speed.php.
3. Store-agnostic: works with Redis, Memcached, DynamoDB (via cache tags), file, or array drivers across Laravel 10–12.
4. Built for observability: exposes latency, memory usage, cache hits, and circuit status via standard HTTP headers.
More of the options can be found in the official documentation of the package. This step will help you remove any unnecessary coding that slows down your site. This package will give the boost that it needs to succeed.
