Just to be clear, the php artisan optimize command is deprecated as of 5.5, and a commit in master has removed it from 5.6.

@jamesmills 👍Thank you. I won't change the post for fair contest.

One thing I would mention in this article would be to enable OPcache. There is a helpful package for Laravel here https://github.com/appstract/laravel-opcache which has a link to an article explaining what it can do for your Laravel app.

Yeah. In my opinion, OPcache is an easier and more effective way to improve performance than others.

Did you also look into php-pm?

[hhxsv5]

Sure, php-pm is earlier solution to hold code in memory before Swoole and Workerman.
The most important reason, Swoole is written in C, and can call OS API, so that it provides multithreading/millisecond timer/built-in Coroutine.
