A Web Developer’s Blog
I setup Laravel with Redis and made sure all my articles were cached, and still saw a lot of database traffic.
All the route bound parameters get magically injected - but of course behind the scenes these are looked up in the database.
Although these are simple queries that run pretty fast - a lof of them are repeated very frequently so can be efficiently cached.
In the world of Web development the words “Best Practice” are often thrown about as if implementation was a trivial detail and giving the impression that everyone else must be doing all this already.
Then you implement these and find that it isn’t so trivial - especially when you try and combine each practice.
I wanted to experiment with making this site into a Progressive Web App (PWA) while maintaining good security through Content Security Policy (CSP) headers and long cache times for static assets.
