# Automatic pageviews

Apply the plausible.track middleware to track server-side pageviews automatically. It uses the configured default site — override it per route with plausible.track:your-site:

```php
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;

Route::middleware('plausible.track')->group(function () {
    Route::get('/', HomeController::class);
    Route::get('/pricing', PricingController::class);
});

// Track a route against a different site than the default
Route::get('/docs', DocsController::class)->middleware('plausible.track:docs.my-site.com');
```

The middleware does its work in terminate(), after the response has been sent, and only records:

- GET requests;
- requests that are not AJAX and don’t expect JSON;
- successful responses (status below 300);
- responses with a text/html Content-Type.

Each pageview carries the full URL, the Referer header as its referrer, and the visitor lifted from the request. When no site is configured or passed, the middleware silently skips — so it is safe to apply broadly.

## Every web route

Append the middleware class to the web group to track the whole site:

```php
// bootstrap/app.php — track every route in the web group
use Illuminate\Foundation\Configuration\Middleware;
use RoundlyConsulting\Plausible\Http\Middleware\TrackPageview;

->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware): void {
    $middleware->web(append: [TrackPageview::class]);
})
```

Captures are queued by default (plausible.tracking.queue). Set PLAUSIBLE\_TRACKING\_QUEUE=false (or off, no, 0) to send them synchronously in terminate() instead.
