If you want to use a website on a production server (live server / server that's accessible to the public) follow these steps:

  • Ensure sure the encryption key is set to a random value. It's located in the config/app file with the key name key.
  • Also disable debug mode if it's activated (and disable Xdebug if it's enabled)
  • Create a cronjob that is executed once per minute and calls the jobs Artisan command. Example: 1 * * * * /usr/bin/php /var/www/laravel/artisan jobs
  • Finally, check the diagnostics module (e. g. http://<server>/diag) to reveal possible issues.

Additionally, you may consider to minimize (and concatenate) JS and CSS files.
