Laravel Caching with Redis is very slow

I know this thread is already very old, but I am still getting the same.

I am using Laragon for local development and Redis makes my API request 4x slower.

EDIT:

OMFG... I just the problem.

In my .env file I had "REDIS_HOST=localhost" and that is exactly the problem.

After I change it to "REDIS_HOST=127.0.0.1", everything is running fast.

Try it and let me know.
