Two-thirds of respondents said they wait more than 10 minutes for their mobile builds.
Using Cache-Control headers in Laravel for HTTP caching with Cloudflare
We recently helped our customer Holocafé prepare its Laravel application for a TV appearance on the German edition of Dragons’ Den (Höhle der Löwen) and the corresponding peak in traffic. The primary change was to utilize Cloudflare as an HTTP reverse proxy to cache the main page of the site and a few other mostly static pages that users were most likely to click on. The expectation was that 80-90% of the curious users could be served with pages from the HTTP cache.
