public function boot(): void
{
    GzipResponse::encodeWhen(function (Request $request, mixed $response): bool {
        return in_array('gzip', $request->getEncodings())
            && $request->method() === 'GET'
            && function_exists('gzencode')
            && ! $response->headers->contains('Content-Encoding', 'gzip')
            && ! $response instanceof BinaryFileResponse;
    });
}

You can use just the GzipResponse.php. Copy to your Laravel project, and change namespace.

namespace App\Http\Middleware;
