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's been embedded with our team for over a year. Daily standups, same Linear board, same Slack. When we needed a maintenance tracking module built - tenant requests, status workflows, admin dashboards - he scoped it and shipped it in six weeks. Our clients think he's internal."
"We needed a booking platform with a full API and mobile app. Agencies quoted six figures. Stu built the prototype, we got users on it, validated the concept. Now we're doing a full rebuild and it's still a fraction of agency prices. He actually ships."
"Brought Stu in to review our AI tooling stack. He did a proper deep dive, gave us a clear plan, and containerised everything so devs could run it locally. Exactly the kind of practical, no-bullshit assessment we needed."
