How to avoid Connection timed out after 10000 milliseconds? - laravel

Question

I have a Laravel application in which I integrated PHP graph sdk to use Facebook graph API. I have a stats page, I display number of posts per type, top 3 posts, and some insights metric like "page_post_engagements" ... in moris charts.
this is my controller:
public function stats($id,Facebook $fb)
{
$page = Page::find($id);
$page_fb_id = $page->fb_id;
$page_access_token = $page->access_token;
$oAuth2Client = $fb->getOAuth2Client();
$fb->setDefaultAccessToken($oAuth2Client->getLongLivedAccessToken($page_access_token)->getValue());
$nb_photos = '0';
$nb_videos = '0';
$nb_links = '0';
$nb_likes = '0';
$nb_comments = '0';
$nb_shares = '0';
$count_posts = '0';
$startDate = Carbon::now()->subDays('29');
$endDate = Carbon::now();
$numberOfDays = $endDate->diffInDays($startDate);
$classement = array();
$posts = $fb->get('/'.$page_fb_id.'/posts?fields=type&since='.Carbon::parse($startDate).'&until='.Carbon::parse($endDate))->getGraphEdge();
if(empty($posts))
{
$classement = ['total'=>0,'likes'=>0,'comments'=>0,'shares'=>0];
}
else
{
foreach ($posts as $key => $post)
{
if($post['type'] == 'photo')
{
$nb_photos++;
}
else if($post['type'] == 'video')
{
$nb_videos++;
}
else if($post['type'] == 'link')
{
$nb_links++;
}
$count_posts++;
$impress = $fb->get('/'.$post['id'].'/insights?metric=post_impressions_unique')->getGraphEdge();
$engage = $fb->get('/'.$post['id'].'/insights?metric=post_engaged_users')->getGraphEdge();
$classement[] = ['total'=>($engage[0]['values'][0]['value']/$impress[0]['values'][0]['value'])*100,'id'=>$post['id'],'impressions'=>$impress[0]['values'][0]['value'],'engage'=>$engage[0]['values'][0]['value']];
}
if(is_array($classement))
{
asort($classement);
$tops = array_slice($classement, -3, 3);
$start_elem = array_slice($tops, 0, 1);
$mid_elem = array_slice($tops, 1, 1);
$end_elem = end($tops);
}
if($end_elem['id'])
{
$top1 = $fb->get('/'.$end_elem['id'].'/?fields=id,message,full_picture,source,type,created_time,from{name,picture}')->getGraphNode();

Is there a way to optimize my code so I can get a better response time and especially avoid the Connection timed out after 10000 milliseconds exception?

Answer 1

I'm assuming to get the API data and parse it... it is taking longer than 10 seconds?
You have 2 things to do to improve your system: 1) Use Cache 2) Use Queues.
Cache! (Save the API/parsed result for 15 minutes or so)
Queues! (API parsing is done in the server background)
Your system workflow will be:
User hits /stats
Is there a cache version? Use it. Response time ~ barely 500ms.
No/Expired cache? Fire a Queued Job to get the new API data.
Show the user 'Data is being refreshed!' and display the latest cache.
