title: Set Laravel Eloquent model's to eager load by default
body: <p>Laravel's eloquent models are set to lazy load by default. The problem is that it makes a lot of query to the database and especially during high traffic, the laravel application crashes whereas a similar application build on Yii 1 has no issues. </p>
  
  <p>After installing the Laravel's debug bar, the problem is too many queries being made on every page load. The next step is to query optimization. I have been using eager loading as directed in the Laravel's documentation but still too many queries. </p>
  
  <p>I was wondering if there is a way to set Eloquent to only "Eager Load" in dev environment. That way when the page fails to load, identifying issue would be easier.</p>
