How To Create Url Compression Test Tool Through Laravel

Step 1:- Create a blade page

<h4>URL Compression Test</h4>
                  <div class="form-group">
                     <br>
                     <br>
                     <br>
                     <p>This tool checks your server to see if it is sending out compressed data. It checks for compression via
                        mod_gzip, mod_deflate, or any server-side language that does content compression. Enter the address of a
                        specific page or file to check</p>
                     <br>
                     
                     <form action="{{route('submitUrlToCheck')}}" method="post">
                        @csrf
                        <div class="input-group mb-3">
                           <input type="text" name="url" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter a url to test" aria-label="Recipient's username" aria-describedby="basic-addon2">
                           <div class="input-group-append">
                              <button class="btn btn-primary" style="padding-right: 50px;" type="submit">Check</button>
                           </div>
                        </div>
                     </form>
                     
                     <br>
                     <br>
                     @if($encoding == 'firstTime')

                     @elseif($encoding == 'else')
                     <div>
                        <h5>{{$url}} <span class="text-danger">is NOT Compressed</span> </h5>
                     </div>
                     @else
                     <div>
                        <h5>{{$url}} <span class="text-success"> is Compressed with {{$encoding}}</span></h5>
                     </div>
                     @endif
                     <br>
                     
                     @if($uncompressedSizeFormatted > 0)
                     <h5>Page size: {{$uncompressedSizeFormatted}}</h5>
                     @endif
                     <br>
                     
                     @if($compressedSizeFormatted > 0)
                     <h5>Compressed Page Size: {{$compressedSizeFormatted}}</h5>
                     @endif
                     <br>
                     
                     @if($percentageSavings > 0)
                     <h5>Potential Savings: {{$percentageSavings}}</h5>
                     @endif

Step 2:- Create a route on web.php

Route::get('checkUrlCompression',[App\Http\Controllers\CheckUrlCompressionController::class, 'index'])->name('checkUrlCompression');
Route::post('submitUrlToCheck',[App\Http\Controllers\CheckUrlCompressionController::class, 'post'])->name('submitUrlToCheck');

Step 3:- Create a controller

 public function index()
    {
        $encoding = 'firstTime';
        $url = '';
        $uncompressedSizeFormatted = " ";
        $compressedSizeFormatted = " ";
        $percentageSavings = " ";
        return view('CheckUrlCompression.index', compact('encoding', 'url', 'uncompressedSizeFormatted','percentageSavings','compressedSizeFormatted'));
    }
    
    public function post(Request $request)
{
    $ch = curl_init($request->url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_ENCODING, ""); // Request both compressed and uncompressed content
    $buffer = curl_exec($ch);
    $curl_info = curl_getinfo($ch);
    curl_close($ch);
    $header_size = $curl_info["header_size"];
    $headers = substr($buffer, 0, $header_size);
    $body = substr($buffer, $header_size);

    function getEncoding(&$headers)
    {
        $arr = explode("\r\n", trim($headers));
        array_shift($arr);
        foreach ($arr as $header) {
            list($k, $v) = explode(':', $header);
            if ('content-encoding' == strtolower($k)) {
                return trim($v);
            }
        }
        return false;
    }

    $encoding = getEncoding($headers);
    $url = $request->url;
    
    $uncompressedSize = strlen($body);

    if ($encoding) {
        // If compressed, calculate compressed page size
        $compressedSize = $uncompressedSize; // Initialize it with the uncompressed size
        $potentialSavings = 0;
    } else {
        // Not compressed
        $compressedSize = strlen(gzencode($body, 9, FORCE_GZIP));
        $potentialSavings = $uncompressedSize - $compressedSize;
    }

    $uncompressedSizeFormatted = $this->formatSize($uncompressedSize);
    $compressedSizeFormatted = $this->formatSize($compressedSize);
    $potentialSavingsFormatted = $this->formatSize($potentialSavings);

    if ($encoding) {
        return view('CheckUrlCompression.index', compact('encoding', 'url', 'uncompressedSizeFormatted', 'compressedSizeFormatted', 'potentialSavingsFormatted'));
    } else {
        $encoding = 'else';
        $percentageSavings = number_format(($potentialSavings / $uncompressedSize) * 100, 2) . '%';
        return view('CheckUrlCompression.index', compact('encoding', 'url', 'uncompressedSizeFormatted', 'compressedSizeFormatted', 'potentialSavingsFormatted', 'percentageSavings'));
    }
}

function getRemoteFilesize($url, $formatSize = true)
{
    $ch = curl_init($url);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 1);
    curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
    $response = curl_exec($ch);
    $headerSize = curl_getinfo($ch, CURLINFO_HEADER_SIZE);
    $headers = substr($response, 0, $headerSize);
    $body = substr($response, $headerSize);

    // Calculate the uncompressed page size
    $uncompressedSize = strlen($body);

    // Check if the response is compressed
    $encoding = getEncoding($headers);
    if ($encoding) {
        // If compressed, calculate compressed page size
        $compressedSize = strlen(gzencode($body, 9, FORCE_GZIP));
        // Calculate potential savings
        $potentialSavings = $uncompressedSize - $compressedSize;
    } else {
        // Not compressed
        $compressedSize = $uncompressedSize;
        $potentialSavings = 0;
    }

    if ($formatSize) {
        // Format sizes
        $uncompressedSize = $this->formatSize($uncompressedSize);
        $compressedSize = $this->formatSize($compressedSize);
        $potentialSavings = $this->formatSize($potentialSavings);
    }

    return compact('uncompressedSize', 'compressedSize', 'potentialSavings');
}

function formatSize($size)
{
    if ($size < 1024) {
        return $size . ' B';
    } elseif ($size < 1048576) {
        return round($size / 1024, 2) . ' KB';
    } elseif ($size < 1073741824) {
        return round($size / 1048576, 2) . ' MB';
    } elseif ($size < 1099511627776) {
        return round($size / 1073741824, 2) . ' GB';
    }
}

Modify it as per your requirements.

Hopefully, It will help you …. Happy Coding !!!!
