Caching API GET Requests

I have a mobile app that loads data from a mysql database using Laravel APIs.

The app takes longer time than expected to load data.

My question is, what is the best way to cache http requests on Laravel's side so that data gets loaded faster.

Sample API link:

mysitename.com/api/get/posts?category_id=100

Thanks

One way would be to use Cache::remember. https://laravel.com/docs/6.x/cache#retrieving-items-from-the-cache , under "Retrieve and Store". It's a very convenient way to automatically cache your responses. Then use something like a redis cache server to speed up your calls.
