No more slow requests
summary
Diagnoses are concrete: excess database queries (N+1), blocking outgoing HTTP calls, tasks that weren’t queued, and expensive PHP serialization. Fixes are explicit: enable OPcache (example: 300ms down to 90ms), add PHP Artisan Optimize to deployment, eager-load only when needed not via model $with, use pluck for huge lists to save memory, and prevent lazy loading. Profiling uses SPX via Herd profiler to surface repeated curl calls. Mentions of Tinkerwell, Expose and Herd indicate production tools that exist and work.
