title: Laravel taking so long to process any request
body: <p>I just installed Laravel 5.4 following the installation instructions from Laravel website. I'm using Windows 10 with Wamp64 installation. After installing Laravel and configuring my Apache with proper Virtual Hosts I opened Google Chrome to try it and the request took more than 10 seconds. I updated the page and it took more than 10 seconds again. I found online that I could optimize the time using the following commands:
      php artisan route:cache
      php artisan config:cache
      php artisan optimize
  However, it didn't change anything and the request still takes more than 10 seconds to be replied.
  Anyone out there with the same issue? Any thoughts how to solve it?</p>
