Speeding up Laravel 5 REST API

Question

I am using Laravel 5.1 to create a REST API service, and I would like to reduce the response time of the API.
Is there a solution to reduce API response other than serveur performance?
In fact, the responder responds with 250 ms . (In production)
My old Slim Framework API responded in 170 ms .

Thank x.
