For years, PHP has taken the blame for slow websites — but after optimizing a legacy e-commerce system handling 50,000+ requests/minute, the results were undeniable:
PHP wasn’t the problem. The architecture was.
In our latest deep-dive, we break down how simple improvements — Redis caching, asynchronous file processing, and database query optimization — transformed a sluggish platform into a high-performance machine:
⚡ 800ms → 89ms response time
⚡ 2.1s → 180ms P95 latency
⚡ 340 → 1,847 requests/second
⚡ 847 → 12 queries per request
No rewrites. No Node.js migration. Just smart engineering.
