Answer 1

Performance wise it's just a matter of finding a way to get fewer database queries to achieve the same result.

A good approach would be let laravel do it for you in a single command:

Public function articlesHome($id)
{
    $article = Articles::whereId($id)->with('city','tags')->get();

    Return view('articles', compact('article');
}

Your view would be the same. The articles relationships is already built, so no extra queries will be made.

{{ $article->name }}
...
{{ $article->city->name }}
...
@foreach($article->tags as tag)
{{ tag->name }}
@endforeach
