speed up Laravel project - laravel

Here we have a big laravel project and heavy database.
Problem is execution time. sometimes refresh page without network issue take 8 seconds.
For speed test I create a simple Route that print Hello world and nothing else, this route take 700ms on server.
server OS : ubunto 18.04,
Laravel : 8,
Webserver : nginx,
i do these :
run composer dumpautoload -o
php artisan optimize
cached routes
cached config

Laravel queue using redis is not stable?

I am using redis-server ver 5.x on my vps ubuntu ver 20.x.Sometimes, few jobs do not execute and stop immediately.
My command to create worker:
php artisan queue:work --timeout=0 --tries=2
So maybe there is something wrong with redis-server? I tried to refresh the redis and even reinstall it. Nothing change.
P/s: No exception was threw in each job. Every jobs take only one second to execute. There is nothing unusual in logs of redis-server and Laravel app
Turns out, I have an another app using the same redis server. And workers of the second app a executed jobs in the first app. Problem solved.

Laravel Horizon not showing jobs

On a new Laravel 8 project my jobs are not appearing in the Horizon UI. Here's what I did:
Install horizon and did php artisan horizon:install
Configured the Redis queue driver
When I do php artisan horizon the output shows that it's successfully processing jobs
If I check my Redis database I can see the completed jobs being stored there (and failed jobs are stored in the mysql table)
So everything is working as expected.
The problem is that the Horizon interface does not show anything, it just shows the loading state everywhere. I've ran php artisan optimize:clear to make sure that it has the latest ENV and config settings but that didn't resolve the issue.
OK party people, here's what went down. In config/horizon.php you can set Horizon's path. I've just learned that you should not start this path with a /, because then Horizon's API calls to fetch the job data will fail.
Don't use
'path' => '/subfolder/horizon'
Do use
'path' => 'subfolder/horizon'

Symfony first time slow loading

I have been developing a web page named: directorioelectronico.com and I have specially issues now, I will be very grateful that someone can be help me.
The web page is loading very slow in the first loading (5,000ms - 20,000ms) (latest are speeded normally) I tried to install APC module but my host is shared and the administrator can not install it, so I resize realpath_cache_size to 2M and the performance is now better (4,000 - 16,000 ms) somebody knows how I can perform it much more?
In advance, Thank you very much for you help.
My issue was that my share host haven't APC cache and for symfony2 is mandatory have it for have a good load so I change my host provider and now I have a VPS where I can install APC and now it is very fast.
The first time a Symfony program is run with env=prod, it has to create a significant amount of cached code - parsing the routes, annotations, converting configurations files and preparing CSS and Javascript.
It will always be a lot slower the first time, so that the rest of the time it will be fast. If you can run it before the website goes live (eg, with app/console), then that work can happen offline.
After clear:cache the next call on the application will have to rebuild a number cached files. That can be slow - so why make a site visitor trigger it?
If you're clearing the cache in production, try using the cache:warmup command to pre-build the the cache. It will mean the next visitor won't have to wait while the heavy lifting is done.
Something like this should help:
$ php ./app/console clear:cache --env=prod
$ php ./app/console clear:warmup
More info in the Symfony documentation.
I'd also suggest to enable query and result caches for doctrine (did you install/active apc cache for your php installation?). This might further reduce the loading time. Just have a look here :-)
Also try to use a deployment script to automatically trigger the cache clear/warmup, mentioned above. This way you won't forget to call those.
Do you use assetic for css/js? Then combine those files, minify them via assetic filters
Good candidates for deployment scripts are ansible, capifony or just a simple shell script.

Laravel 4 very very slow how to check what is slowdown?

i installed fresh copy of laravel4 , than installed Laravel 4 starter kit site:
laravelcp
My site run so slow between pages(loads):
969ms , and i have 950-1.5ms this very bad.
I using localhost wamp.
What i tryed:
optimize wamp.
i changed from localhost to 127.0.0.1 at database.php
i did both php artisan optimize and php artisan optimize --force
Also when i install fresh copy of laravel i have 130-160ms.
When i install other starter kit i have 320-400ms.
Anyway i am laravel 4 newbie , how can i check what makes the load time ?
maybe its some package or something.
If you have debug=true in app/config/app.php (or a local environment's config) you will not be cacheing anything. If you aren't using the cache then it makes sense that your load times with apc vs file cacheing would be similar.
First, try setting debug to false globally, or for your local environment. Then run php artisan optimize after cacheing is disabled.
Test your speeds using a direct route (no controller, simply return "some string"; from the routes.php route for the homepage.
Try returning the same string from a controller action. Map this action to the same route for the homepage and compare. On my local setup I see about a 10ms difference.
If that doesn't speed your app up then try installing the profiler suggested (or the one I prefer: https://packagist.org/packages/sebklaus/profiler) and see what is taking the most time to run. You can enable either profiler so that they run even when debug mode is false.
Another alternative is not to worry about local speed or speed during development and get laravel sped up once your app is working as you want.
Here are some tips to help you with the post-development optimization: Optimizing for production with Laravel 4
For simple debugging, there's a cool debugbar you can install and profile your app with:
https://github.com/barryvdh/laravel-debugbar
It'll show you how long laravel takes to boot up and gives you some other debugging and profiling options.
Also, it looks like you tried running 'php artisan optimize'. Just in case you didn't try it yet, make sure to turn off debug mode before optimizing. This will turn off lots of debugging features, but it will drastically reduce the amount of files Laravel needs to include.

Symfony2 Slow Initialization Time

I have Symfony2 running on an Ubuntu Server 12.04 (64-bit) VM (VirtualBox). The host is a MacBook pro. For some reason I am getting really long request times in development mode (app_dev.php). I know its slower in dev mode, but I'm talking 5-7 seconds per request (sometimes even slower). On my Mac I get request times of 200ms or so in development mode.
After looking at my timeline in the Symfony2 profiler, I noticed that ~95% of the request time is "initialization time". What is this? What are some reasons it could be so slow?
This issue only applies to Symfony2 in dev mode, not any other sites I'm running on the VM, and not even to Symfony2 in production mode.
I saw this (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11162429/whats-included-in-the-initialization-time-in-the-symfony2-web-profiler), but it doesn't seem to answer my questions.
I had 5-30 sec responses from Symfony2 by default. Now it's ~500ms in dev environment.
Then I modified the following things in php.ini:
set realpath_cache_size = 4M (or more)
disabled XDebug completely (test with phpinfo)
realpath_cache_ttl=7200
enabled and set OPcache (or APC) correctly
restarted Apache in order to have php.ini reloaded
And voilá, responses went under 2 secs in dev mode!
Before: 6779 ms
After: 1587 ms
Symfony2 reads classes from thousands of files and that's a slow process. When using a small PHP realpath cache, file paths need to be resolved one by one every time a new request is made in the dev environment if they are not in PHP's realpath cache. The realpath cache is too small by default for Symfony2. In prod this is not a problem of course.
Cache metadata:
Caching the metadata (e.g. mappings) is also very important for further performance boost:
doctrine:
orm:
entity_managers:
default:
metadata_cache_driver: apc
query_cache_driver: apc
result_cache_driver: apc
You need to enable APCu for this. It's APC without bytecode cache, as OPCache already does opcode caching. OPCache is built in since PHP 5.5.
---- After: 467 ms ----
(in prod environment the same response is ~80 ms)
Please note, this is project uses 30+ bundles and has tens of thousands of lines of code, almost hundred own services, so 0.5s is quite good on a local Windows environment using just a few simple optimizations.
I figured out the cause of the problem (and its not Symfony2). For some reason on the ubuntu VM, the modification times on certain files are incorrect (ie in the future, etc). When symfony2 checks these times using filemtime() against its registry, it determines that the cache is not longer fresh and it rebuilds the whole thing. I haven't been able to figure out why it is doing that yet.
I also needed to disable xdebug (v2.2.21) to debug apache2 max timeout loading on my macbook. It was installed using macports:
sudo port install php54-xdebug.
With xdebug enabled, every page run out max loading time, with a fatal error exceeding max timeout message dispatched. When disabled, everything just loads fine in a reasonable expected time. I came to this using MAMP, no xdebug enabled by default, and apache2 just works fast as usual. I may change for another debugger, that's a pitty, because xdebug worked fine before.
Config:
MacOSX 10.6.8
macports 2.1.3
Apache 2.2.24
php 5.4
We have the same problem.
Here we have 10 second and more for every request.
I see if I remove following lines in bootstrap.php.cache all times return in normal state (298 ms).
foreach ($meta as $resource) {
if (!$resource->isFresh($time)) {
return false;
}
}
It's possible that we have wrong modifications times, but we don't know how to fix. Somebody know a solution?
As said at https://stackoverflow.com/a/12967229/6108843 the reason of such behavior might be Ubuntu VM settings. You should to sync date and time between host and guest OS as explained at https://superuser.com/questions/463106/virtualbox-how-to-sync-host-and-guest-time.
File modification date changes to host's value when you upload file to VM via FTP. So that's why filemtime() returns wrong value.
You can move APP/var/cache в /dev/shm/YourAppName/var/cache. But it's good to have built container in local files too for IDE autocomplete and code validation. In app/AppKernel.php:
public function getCacheDir()
{
return $this->getVarOrShmDir('cache/' . $this->getEnvironment());
}
public function getLogDir()
{
return $this->getVarOrShmDir('logs');
}
private function getVarOrShmDir($dir)
{
$result = dirname(__DIR__) . '/var/' . $dir;
if (
in_array($this->environment, ['dev', 'test'], true) &&
empty($_GET['warmup']) && // to force using real directory add ?warmup=1 to URL
is_dir($result) && // first time create real directory, later use shm
file_exists('/bin/mount') && shell_exec('mount | grep vboxsf') // only for VirtualBox
) {
$result = '/dev/shm/' . 'YourAppName' . '/' . $dir . '/' . $this->getEnvironment();
}
return $result;
}
I disabled xdebug and it resulted in a decrease loading time from 17s (yea..) to 0.5s.
I had problems as well with slow page loads in development, which can extremely frustrating when you're tweaking CSS or something similar.
After a bit of digging I found that for me the problem was caused by Assetic which was recompiling all assets on every page load:
http://symfony.com/doc/current/cookbook/assetic/asset_management.html#dumping-asset-files-in-the-dev-environment
By disabling the use of the Assetic controller I was able to drastically increase my page load. However, as the link above states, this comes at a cost of regenerating your assets whenever you make a change to them (or set a watch on them).
In app_dev, all the caches and auto loading is starting from scratch and what I found to be most slow in dev is the orm. I shy away from using orm and focus mainly on dbal because of it, although i probably shouldn't. Orm is used quite a bit in sf2. My guess is orm is what's slowing you down most in dev. Look at the difference between your dev config and prod config. However, some tweaks to your dev config can make development much snappier and enjoyable.. Just try and be aware of what your doing. for example, turning off the twig controller and then modifying a lot of templates will be kind of frustrating. Your need to keep clearing your cache. But like you mentioned, its dev only and when its time to go live, symfony will speed up for you.
