How to cache Blade views for improved performance in Laravel?

To cache Blade views for improved performance in Laravel, you can follow these steps:

Enable view caching: Open the config\view.php file and set the cache option to true.

'cache' => true,

Clear existing view cache (optional): If you have already rendered views without caching enabled, you need to clear the existing view cache. You can run the following command in your terminal:

php artisan view:clear

Cache specific views: You can cache specific views by using the @cache directive within your Blade template. For example:

@cache('key', 60)  
    {{-- Content to be cached here --}}
@endcache

In this example, 'key' is a unique identifier for the cached view, and 60 is the number of seconds the cache should be stored for.

Clear specific cached views (optional): If you want to clear a specific cached view, you can use the cache() helper method. For example:

cache()->forget('key');

Replace 'key' with the identifier of the view you want to clear the cache for.

By caching Blade views, Laravel will store rendered views in the cache, reducing the amount of time it takes to regenerate the views and improving the overall performance of your application.
