Boost your Laravel application's performance by optimizing HTTP responses with middleware for compression.

---

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install the package via Composer:

```
composer require chr15k/laravel-response-compression
```

Publish the configuration file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Chr15k\ResponseCompression\ResponseCompressionServiceProvider"
```

---

Middleware Overview
-------------------

[](#middleware-overview)

This package provides the following middleware:

#### Compression Middleware

[](#compression-middleware)

Applies **Gzip** or **Brotli** compression to HTTP responses based on client support. This reduces the size of the response payload and enhances load times.

**Ideal For**: Large JSON responses, static files, or data-intensive endpoints.

Note

To use Brotli effectively, ensure that the Brotli PHP extension is properly installed.

Warning

When using Brotli, a client-side decoding error may occur with non-secure connections, as modern browsers generally support Brotli compression only over HTTPS.

---

Setup
-----

[](#setup)

### Register Middleware

[](#register-middleware)

#### Global Middleware

[](#global-middleware)

Apply the middleware globally to all requests:

```
// bootstrap/app.php

->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware) {
    ...
    $middleware->web(append: [
        ...
        \Chr15k\ResponseCompression\Middleware\CompressResponse::class,
    ]);
})
```

#### Route Middleware

[](#route-middleware)

Alternatively, register it as route middleware for selective application:

```
use Chr15k\ResponseCompression\Middleware\CompressResponse;

Route::get('/profile', function () {
    // ...
})->middleware(CompressResponse::class);
```

---

Config
------

[](#config)

```
/**
 * Enable or disable the response compression.
 */
'enabled' => env('RESPONSE_COMPRESSION_ENABLED', true),

/**
 * The compression algorithm to use. Can be either 'gzip' or 'br'.
 */
'algorithm' => env('RESPONSE_COMPRESSION_ALGORITHM', 'gzip'),

/**
 * The minimum length of the response content to be compressed.
 */
'min_length' => env('RESPONSE_COMPRESSION_MIN_LENGTH', 1024),

'gzip' => [
    /**
     * The level of compression. Can be given as 0 for no compression up to 9
     * for maximum compression. If not given, the default compression level will
     * be the default compression level of the zlib library.
     *
     * @see https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.gzencode.php
     */
    'level' => env('RESPONSE_COMPRESSION_GZIP_LEVEL', 5),
],

'br' => [
    /**
     * The level of compression. Can be given as 0 for no compression up to 11
     * for maximum compression. If not given, the default compression level will
     * be the default compression level of the brotli library.
     *
     * @see https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.brotli-compress.php
     */
