FAQ

What is laravel-slower?

A Laravel package that captures slow database queries, groups repeats, and uses an LLM to suggest indexes and query rewrites, with a built-in dashboard. Laravel Slower hooks into Laravel's query listener and records every query that exceeds a configurable millisecond threshold, along with its bindings, connection, and the route, job, or artisan command that triggered it. Repeated statements are fingerprinted into groups so the most frequent slow shapes surface first.
