Auth::user() query execution time.

Do you have telescope or xdebug enabled ?

Thanks for the response. I dont have any of these. I am coding in VSCode and have installed laravel-debugbar. Here is the output from debugbar:

Bindings 	
0. 25
Hints 	
Use SELECT * only if you need all columns from table
LIMIT without ORDER BY causes non-deterministic results, depending on the query execution plan

is this a local server?

mine locally (old mac) takes 0.4/0.5ms but 22ms when running the same against my vps

sorry i forgot to mention earlier, it is on laragon local server with PHP 7.4.6, laravel 7 and mysql 8.0.21. Even I have only 13 users in my user table.

Sometimes in development mode queries can take a little longer. Temporarily turn off all debugging, and set app as though production and see if it's faster. But remember to turn debugging on again.
