Overview

Laravel Analytics offers a server-side solution for tracking analytics of your Laravel application or website. Focused on privacy and compliance with GDPR, this tool provides basic yet essential metrics without the need for cookies or invasive tracking methods. As developers, we often seek a straightforward approach to gauge user engagement without compromising user confidentiality, and Laravel Analytics accomplishes this.
