});

$value = Cache::remember('users', $minutes, function () {
    return DB::table('users')->get();
});

• Use pagination:

$users = User::paginate(10);

Asset Optimization

mix.js('resources/js/app.js', 'public/js')
   .sass('resources/sass/app.scss', 'public/css');

composer require laravel/telescope
php artisan telescope:install

<img src="image.jpg" alt="Image" loading="lazy">
