Laravel Production Stats
Production-ready performance monitoring for Laravel applications. Automatically injects performance statistics as HTML comments—lightweight, secure, and production-safe.
For years I've added basic performance stats to WordPress sites as HTML comments in the footer. They're always available in the HTML source, don't bother users, and help determine if a site is cached and how quickly pages generate. When I moved to Laravel, I missed this functionality and kept manually adding stats to templates. This package automates that process.
Note: While this package injects into your pages, is typically not sensitive information, you shouldn't use this package if you don't want site visitors being able to see this data.
Features
- Automatic tracking - Measures page load time and generation timestamp
- Production-ready - Unlike development-only tools, safe for production use
- Non-intrusive - Injects as HTML comments, invisible to end users
- Safe - Only processes HTML responses, won't break JSON/XML
- Zero configuration - Works immediately after installation
Requirements
- PHP 8.2+
- Laravel 10+
Installation
composer require ryanhellyer/laravel-production-stats
Usage
No configuration needed. The package automatically tracks page load times and generation timestamps, injecting them as HTML comments before the closing </body> tag.
Example Output
<!-- Page generated in 42 ms at 2025-12-12 14:43:42 -->
</body>
View in your browser's page source.
Testing
Run the test suite with:
composer test
What Gets Tracked
- Page load time - Time to render from Laravel bootstrap to response (milliseconds)
- Generation timestamp - When the page was generated
