Using Lumen for simple website vs Laravel

I am starting a new simple website that will take data from an API and render views based on the data returned from this API. The API is not public, so the calls happen on the server-side.

For speed improvements, I was thinking to use Lumen over Laravel seeing as there are no queues, no databases, ... Also, according to the documentation, Lumen supports all blade things Laravel has.

But I was wondering if the improvement in speed is worth using Lumen for a project like this. Does anyone have experience with this?
