Laravel dompdf taking too much time to generate and download a pdf - pdf-generation

Question

I'm recently working on report generation for simple 2 records from database. For generating this report i'm using Laravel dompdf package, but it's taking too long time to download which is not expected. Code I used is below:
$pdf = PDF::loadView('dashboard.sales-report', compact('sales'));
$pdf->setPaper('A4', 'portrait');
$sales_report_file_name = "daily_sales_".date('Y-m-d').".pdf";
return $pdf->download($sales_report_file_name);
and using css inside our view page. But only two records taking more than 2 minutes. Could anyone please help me on it? Thanks in advance.
Blade file code:
#extends('layouts.invoice_master')
#section('content')
#php
$total_discount = 0;
$total_advance = 0;
$total_net_sum = 0;
$total = 0;
#endphp

Answer 1

Finally I solved the issue myself. The problem was in img tag image loading path. Previously using below img tag where path was wrong according to pdf generation and due to that system was unable to load the image, so it was taking too much time:
Previous img tag:
<img style="width: 80px; height: 22px;" alt="" class="invoice-logo" src="{{ asset('uploads/company/'.$company_details->id.'/receipt_logo/50x50/'.$company_details->receipt_logo)}}">
New img tag where image path is different than upper one, and here everything working fine including time.
<img style="width: 80px; height: 22px;" alt="" class="invoice-logo" src="{{ public_path().'/uploads/company/'.$company_details->id.'/receipt_logo/50x50/'.$company_details->receipt_logo }}">
