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

---

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

[](#installation)

Install the package via Composer:

```
composer require uak35/laravel-response-compression
```

Publish the configuration file:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Uak35\ResponseCompression\ResponseCompressionServiceProvider"
```

---

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

[](#middleware-overview)

This package provides the following middleware:

#### Compression Middleware

[](#compression-middleware)

Applies **Gzip**, **Brotli**, or **Zstd** 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.

Note

To use Zstandard (ZSTD) effectively, ensure that the ZSTD PHP extension is properly installed.

---

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: [
        ...
        \Uak35\ResponseCompression\Middleware\CompressResponse::class,
    ]);
})
```

#### Route Middleware

[](#route-middleware)

Alternatively, register it as route middleware for selective application:

```
use Uak35\ResponseCompression\Middleware\CompressResponse;

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