Fix Slow Laravel Application
Your Laravel app is slow and you don't know why. Pages take forever, users complain, conversions drop. I find the bottlenecks and fix them.
Sound Familiar?
Pages take 5+ seconds to load
Database queries timing out
High server CPU/memory usage
Users abandoning before pages load
Error logs full of timeout warnings
How I Can Help
Full performance audit and profiling
Fix N+1 query problems with eager loading
Add intelligent caching for expensive operations
Optimize database indexes
Move heavy tasks to background queues
Set up monitoring to prevent future issues
Slow applications are usually death by a thousand cuts. Not one big problem, but dozens of small ones: N+1 queries, missing indexes, no caching, synchronous operations that should be async.
I start with profiling. Laravel Debugbar, database query logs, and actual performance monitoring. Numbers, not guesses.
Then systematic fixes: eager load relationships, add strategic caching, index the right columns, queue the heavy stuff. Each change measured.
Most applications see 50-80% improvement. Some go from 10 second page loads to under a second.

What Clients Say
"Stu and I built an AI-powered documentation review tool together - it handled PR reviews, added frontmatter, found and linked related docs automatically. We went from idea to working product incredibly quickly. He's fast, he gets AI, and he's genuinely fun to collaborate with."
"I've worked with Stu for close to ten years now. What started as me mentoring him quickly became a genuine collaboration - he's grown into someone I trust completely with Laravel architecture and AWS infrastructure. When I need something done properly, he's still my first call. That says everything."
"One of the things most organisations struggle with is finding that 'bridge' type of resource — someone who can speak product, understand the business, and shape the technical flow for today while keeping an eye firmly on tomorrow. Stu, on multiple occasions where I've hired him over the last 15 years, has been that guy. His consultative skills — listening, challenging back, and shaping technical solutions around what he hears — are second to none. His time management and expectation-setting are spot on too. He'll tell you where the risks are in the new and the unknown, so you're never left biting your nails in the dark. He lives and breathes tech, early-adopts just for the hell of it, but never oversells anything until it's genuinely safe and ready to use."
