Laravel is a PHP based framework with architectural patterns based on the symphony. It gets more popularity after releasing its 3rd version (5.7) in Sep’2018.

Choosing the right framework in the initial stage of the project is one the most difficult aspect. Laravel is less time consuming with the latest pre-built functions. For e.g basic authentication cache (for improving performance) validation, etc are pre-installed which help web development easier and efficient.

There are many technical advantages that make it different and best out of all. Some of them are discussed below:-

<b>1.  Configuration of URL

Users click or type a link to use a website to see the desired content like a product description, article, contact details, etc. It becomes possible because of URL routing otherwise it may show a blank page or error page.

The benefit of opting Laravel is its all routes are defined in the routes file which is automatically loaded by the framework.

<b>2. Model View Controller (MVC) Framework

Laravel works on MVC (Model View Controller) framework. 

It supports MVC architecture that ensures clarity between logic and presentation, provides documentation, improve functions which means separation is already done, need not worry about bugs and to interact with the developers.

<b>3. Delay In Message And Services

Getting more traffic on the website mean have to handle more request. The server will end up with data loss and hosting applications which is quite expensive(especially cloud hosting).To come out of this developers use a message queue system for increasing application speed and keeping data integrity.

Laravel provides a unified API tutorial across a variety of backend queues. It consumes less time which drastically speeds up web requests.
 
<b>4. Scheduled Task Configuration and Management

A task scheduling mechanism cleanup all irrelevant data after a certain period of time. Earlier it was managed by Cron entry for every task which is quite hectic.

In Laravel only single command entry is needed to schedule the task.

<b>5. Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSFR) Protection on Laravel

To protect an application from CSFR attack Laravel uses a class token method. This token ensures that the request is coming from a secure end, not from somewhere else.

Laravel adds a predefined filter to the app. Class token method and CSRF filters can be used together to protect application routes. It has many advanced features like check active users, Bycrypt hashing, password reset,  encryption, etc. 

<b>6. Technical Vulnerabilities

Laravel is very popular in fixing multiple technical vulnerabilities like SQL injection,cross-site forgery, cross-site scripting, and others as well. Its feature allows you to do everything securely.

For a mission-critical application, there are two types of security- Application security and Server security. Having a web application code with appropriate separation at the early stage enables to fix bugs and feature request would be cost-effective. Because of a more secure base application and MVC (model view controller), Laravel’s popularity grew very fast.
