laravel-plausible-proxy

A Laravel package for proxying Plausible Analytics, improving performance.

Requirements

• Laravel 12
• PHP 8.3, 8.4

🚀 Installation

1. Install the package via Composer:

   composer require mattitjaab/laravel-plausible-proxy
   

2. Publish the configuration file:

   php artisan vendor:publish --tag=plausible-proxy-config
   

3. Add the following environment variables to your .env file:

   PLAUSIBLE_DOMAIN=https://plausible.io

⚙️ Configuration

The config/plausible-proxy.php file allows you to customize the plausible domain:

return [
    'domain' => env('PLAUSIBLE_DOMAIN', 'https://plausible.io'),
];

🔥 Usage

1. Proxying the JavaScript file

This package proxies Plausible's script.js while caching it to improve performance and reduce external requests.

After installation, you can include the script like this:

<script defer data-domain="example.com" src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/MattitjaAB/laravel-plausible-proxy/refs/heads/main/js/script.js"></script>

The route /js/script.js is automatically handled and caches the script for 6 hours.

2. Sending Events to Plausible

Instead of sending events directly to plausible.io, the script is loaded from /js/script.js and proxies the request to Plausible via /api/event, helping to prevent blocking by ad blockers.

✅ Features

• 🚀 Fast & Optimized: Caches the Plausible script to reduce external calls.
• ✅ No issues with ad blockers: Proxies the request via a local API endpoint.
• 🛠 Fully Configurable: Easily set your own Plausible instance via .env.

🛠 Testing

You can run tests with:

composer test
