Optimizing PHP Applications for High Performanc
By Sheheryar Ahmad
<p>PHP has powered the web for decades, but performance becomes a challenge when applications scale. Laravel and Symfony offer many optimization tools, but developers often overlook them.<br> This article explains how to achieve high-performance PHP applications by applying techniques like <strong>query optimization, database indexing, caching with Redis & Memcached, asynchronous jobs with queues, and using PHP OPcache</strong>. I also discuss <strong>server-level optimizations (Nginx, Apache tuning, Docker configurations)</strong> and frontend improvements to reduce load time. By implementing these strategies, PHP applications can achieve enterprise-grade performance.</p><p><br></p>
