Earlier this year one of our clients approached us requesting help for one of his projects. He reported that one particular website is loading very slow compared to the majority of the sites in the network and this is badly affecting their reach and profit.

The project represents a simple presentation website built with Laravel and is served by a shared web hosting. The interesting part is that this site is not working with the standard approach for SQL database, it doesn’t store any local data.

And we have to keep in mind that the most important is the first touch of the visitors with this site which still takes insanely long time (of course if they decide to wait and not close the tab in the meantime).
