What problem does it solve?

Laravel applications often suffer severe performance slowdowns when relations are loaded lazily, causing N+1 query patterns that multiply database calls per record.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Prevent N+1 queries with eager loading: Eager load relations explicitly (e.g., author, comments) to reduce query counts.
• Use lazy-loading protection in non-production: Enable safeguards so accidental lazy loading is caught during development and testing.
• Load only the fields you need: Select only required columns for both base models and their relations to minimize data transfer and processing.

Quick Start

Add explicit eager loading to your queries (for example, load the author and comments relations when paginating posts) and enable lazy-loading prevention outside production.
