If you create N levels of abstraction, don’t optimize, etc - you’re making it slow. I run PHP infrastructure for my customers, we service an average of 2M unique requests per day per customer, that’s per 1 pave hit, average is 15 complex pages. We do this with a homemade framework, tons of dB queries due to site builder container logic, and hardly cache anything - each machine only uses about 1 GB ram at peak. PHP is not slow, the abstractions are.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
I’ll echo the words of others: PHP is not slow.
