README

Laravel Gzip is a simple and effective way to gzip your response for a better performance.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require erlandmuchasaj/laravel-gzip

Config file

Publish the configuration file using artisan.

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="ErlandMuchasaj\LaravelGzip\GzipServiceProvider"

Usage

This package has a very easy and straight-forward usage.

Laravel v11+

Just add the middleware in bootstrap/app.php, like so:

return Application::configure(basePath: dirname(__DIR__))
    ->withRouting(
        // ...
    )
    ->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
        $middleware->append(\ErlandMuchasaj\LaravelGzip\Middleware\GzipEncodeResponse::class);
    })
    // ...

Laravel v10 and older

Just add the middleware to the $middleware array in app/Http/Kernel.php like so:

/**
 * The application's global HTTP middleware stack.
 *
 * These middleware are run during every request to your application.
 *
 * @var array<int, class-string|string>
 */
protected $middleware = [
    \ErlandMuchasaj\LaravelGzip\Middleware\GzipEncodeResponse::class,
    //...
];

Important

In a previous version, we recommended adding the middleware to the web middleware group. Now, we recommend adding to global $middleware because we want to apply gzip to all requests. Additionally, registering the middleware in the web group caused debugbar to break.

Also, if you are using spatie/laravel-cookie-consent package, you should register this middleware before the \Spatie\CookieConsent\CookieConsentMiddleware::class middleware.

That's it! Now your responses will be gzipped.

Benchmark

I tested this package with a fresh installed laravel in homepage and got:

No Gzip => 72.9kb

With Gzip => 19.2kb *
