You can actually use the built-in server provided by laravel. make sure port 8000 is available
php artisan serve

Local Server slow
Which local server have you set up? Is there a way to make the loading times as fast as on the live server? I'm still a beginner and work with Xampp. Sometimes the loading times are 1-2 seconds.

@Ssionn That is actually just a wrapper for the built in php serve command.
@damann8479 I suggest trying Laravel Herd, it works for both Windows and Mac

@damann8479 check your sql and indexes.
I use my own wamp, I download mysql, apache, and php and use the zip versions.
Sure first load can take a second or two.
Try this, log out of laracasts, log back in then click some of the categories to the left and time first load. Navigate elsewhere, then click again. Notice a faster load. I am almost sure results are cached for second load.
Worrying about 2 seconds only sometimes is really nothing to be concerned about.
When web traffic is busy, some pages on a live server will take even longer, it's normal.
