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.
