My Laravel 8 product list (jQuery DataTable) crawls to a halt—loading 1.1 million+ rows can take up to four minutes and sometimes freezes the browser. I suspect the main culprit is the MySQL query rather than images, even though each row also displays three thumbnails. Here’s what I need right now: • Inspect the current Eloquent / query-builder call and pinpoint bottlenecks. • Apply quick wins—proper indexing is already in place, but the query may still need refactoring, eager-loading, or pagination tweaks. • Review how images are fetched and make sure they aren’t blocking or over-fetching. • Deliver a concise summary of the changes plus the patched code so I can drop it straight back into production. This is a small, urgent fix on a very tight budget, so please bid only if you can start immediately and are confident with Laravel 8, MySQL optimisation, and jQuery DataTables.
