Livewire Slow

I have a Laravel with HTML application that I am adding Livewire to, I have noticed that Livewire requests are taking around 1 second to process. For example I have a component which is currently only rendering 4 records

public function render(): View
{
    $this->authorize('viewAny', Region::class);

    return view('livewire.region-manager', [
        'regions' => Region::when($this->region, function ($query) {
            $query->where('name', 'like', '%'.$this->region.'%');
        })
            ->paginate($this->perPage),
    ]);
}

in the blade file I have an input with wire:model.live. when I search, the component takes around 1s to update. Do I have to create a Livewire app from the initial setup?

Using wire:model.live can fire off multiple requests depending on how fast the user types. By default, Livewire adds a 150ms "debounce" to the input. This means it waits 150ms until after the user has finished typing to perform the update.

You can try changing the debounce time to see if you get better performance.

I have a similar search-style component that paginates through about 200 records. On the server, updates take an average of around 600ms to complete. I have the "search" input debounced at 300ms.

As a note, the OS of your development environment could also play a part in slow requests. I work primarily on Windows which adds a fair bit of overhead when testing things locally (at least in my experience).
