I think Laravel Dusk is simply a bit slow.
Some poeple find the Browserkit Testing package that was present in version 5.3 is still completely usable these days, you might find it's the right tool for you.

Laravel:dusk is very slow
Hi,
i'm using laravel 5.5 with Dusk 2.* for browser tests. But the test's a very slow, so before one(!) tests starts, it takes ~ 10 seconds until the tested url is called. This problem is on the start of every single test!
I've debugged the code and found the problem: vendor/facebook/webdriver/lib/Remote/HttpCommandExecutor.php:280: "$raw_results = trim(curl_exec($this->curl));" The first curl request goes to "http://localhost:9515/session" and this tooks a looot of time! After this request is succeded the next requests go faster!
Is there anything i can do to improve my performance?
Greetings

Thanks for this feedback, i will give it a try.
But still i want to find out what the problem is - I can't belive 10seconds for a simple browser-test is normal. After some more debugging i found out that start the chrome-driver manually brings 50% speed up. But i don't understand why!
