Performance Tips

By default, all settings are cached after accessing them for the first time or after accessing the setting again after it has been updated. You are free to turn caching off, but you might notice a performance hit on larger apps that are storing a large amount of settings or on apps that are retrieving many settings on each page load.

As always, if you choose to bypass the provided methods for setting and removing settings, you will need to flush the cache manually for each setting you manipulate manually. To determine the cache key for a setting key, you should use the cacheKeyForSetting method on the Settings facade to generate the correct cache key for the setting:

$cacheKey = Settings::cacheKeyForSetting('foo');

// With context
$cacheKey = Settings::context(new Context(['id' => 1]))->cacheKeyForSetting('foo');

{tip} The cacheKeyForSetting method will take into account the current team id and context as well that is set on the settings service.
