I will optimize your slow mysql and fix database performance
About this Gig
Is your web app slow? Pages timing out? Reports taking forever to load? I've fixed exactly these problems, including cutting a page load from 2 full minutes down to under 2 seconds (98% reduction).
What I audit and fix:
Slow or unindexed MySQL/PostgreSQL queries
N+1 query problems in Laravel Eloquent
Missing or incorrect database indexes
Schema design issues are causing joins to crawl
Laravel query caching strategy (Redis, query cache)
Pagination problems on large datasets
Report generation bottlenecks
API response time issues
My process:
1. Full audit of your slow endpoints and queries
2. Written report of every issue found with severity
3. Fix implementation with before/after benchmarks
4. Recommendations to prevent recurrence
Real results I've delivered:
2 minutes under 2 seconds page load (98% faster)
45 seconds under 10 seconds report generation (78% faster)
10x API response time improvement on a legacy CRM
If your app is slow, it's costing you users and revenue. Let's fix it fast.

FAQ
How much improvement can I expect?
Results vary but can be dramatic. I've cut load times from 2 mins → 2 secs (98%) and reports from 45s → 10s (78%). I'll give a realistic estimate after the initial audit.
What access do you need for the audit?
Read access to your codebase and MySQL slow query logs or EXPLAIN output. No production DB access needed — staging or anonymized data works fine.
Will fixes break my existing app?
No. Adding indexes and rewriting queries doesn't change behavior — only speed. I work on staging first, test thoroughly, and apply to production only after your sign-off.
Do you fix N+1 query problems in Laravel?
Yes — one of the most common fixes I do. I use Laravel Debugbar and Telescope to find every N+1 instance, then resolve them with eager loading and query scopes.
Can you implement Redis caching?
Yes. Query result caching, session caching, and rate limiting with proper cache invalidation. One of the highest-impact optimizations for read-heavy Laravel apps.
Do you work with PostgreSQL too?
Yes — MySQL, PostgreSQL, and SQLite. I apply the right techniques for each, including PostgreSQL-specific index types (GIN, GiST) and query planner behavior. AWS RDS supported.
What does the audit report include?
A prioritized list of every issue found, root cause in plain English, estimated impact, and specific fixes. Rated by severity. You can implement fixes yourself or let me handle them.
My app is on shared hosting, not AWS. Can you help?
Yes. Query rewrites, indexes, N+1 fixes, and pagination apply on any host. If hosting itself is the bottleneck I'll tell you honestly and help you decide if an upgrade is worth it.
