Laravel Gzip is a simple and effective way to gzip your response for a better performance.
You can install the package via composer:
composer require erlandmuchasaj/laravel-gzipPublish the configuration file using artisan.
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="ErlandMuchasaj\LaravelGzip\GzipServiceProvider"This package has a very easy and straight-forward usage.
Just add the middleware to the web middleware group$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
We changed it from web middleware group to global $middleware array because we want to apply gzip to all requests
and also, when provided in web group it caused debugbar not to work.
Also, if you are using spatie/laravel-cookie-consent package,
you should put this middleware before \Spatie\CookieConsent\CookieConsentMiddleware::class middleware.
That's it! Now your responses will be gzipped.
I tested this package with a fresh installed laravel in homepage and got:
No Gzip => 72.9kb
With Gzip => 19.2kb *
I invest a lot of time and resources into creating best in class open source packages.
