What actually helps prevent suspension wear besides driving slow?

I just moved to Dubai six months ago and I’m already hearing horror stories from coworkers about replacing struts and control arms after a year of commuting. My car is fairly new and I really want to keep it in good shape, but slowing down to a crawl over every speed bump and pothole feels unrealistic when everyone behind me starts honking. I’ve been trying to understand the main prevent early suspension damage causes so I can adjust my driving habits or maybe upgrade something on the car. There’s a useful breakdown on stations.ae that talks about how our uneven roads here create a perfect storm of repeated small impacts and occasional big jolts, but I’m still confused about whether things like heavier duty shocks or simply avoiding certain streets makes the biggest difference. Do you guys check your alignment more often, swap to smaller wheels with taller tires, or just accept that suspension is a consumable part here? Really hoping to learn some practical daily habits before my car starts making those expensive clunking noises.
