Laravel is a PHP framework that is used for building web applications. It is based on the popular Symphony framework and follows the MVC (Model–View–Controller) Pattern. Most of Frameworks and Applications use cache feature to store frequently usage files in a temporary storage folder and serve them faster on requests. Caching reduces the request processing time to increase application performance. In this article you will learn how to clear the cache of your Laravel Web Application. You can clear the Laravel App cache by using a commandline interface or by adding the PHP code to the application’s  “Routes/Web.Php” file. I am teaching you both methods to clear laravel cache.
