Informations about the package laravel-matomo-ai-bot-tracking

Laravel Matomo AI Bot Tracking

Track AI bot requests from a Laravel app in Matomo.

This package adds a middleware for Laravel. It uses a fast user-agent string check to detect AI bots and sends these requests to Matomo with recMode=1.

What It Does

The middleware tracks AI bot page requests on the server. It only tracks a request when all of these things are true:

The request to Matomo contains these fields:

The middleware does not send cip or cdt. This means it does not override the visitor IP or request time in Matomo.

Requirements

Matomo bot tracking needs support for the recMode tracking parameter.

Installation

Install the package with Composer:

Laravel will auto-discover the service provider.

Configuration

The package reads its settings from Laravel's services config. Add this to config/services.php:

Then add the values to your .env file:

MATOMO_TRACKING_URL is the base URL of your Matomo installation. Do not add /matomo.php here. The middleware adds it for you.

Middleware Usage

Register the middleware on the routes where you want to track AI bots.

For a Laravel 11+ application, add it to the middleware configuration in bootstrap/app.php:

For older Laravel applications that still use app/Http/Kernel.php, add it to the web middleware group:

Behavior

When an AI bot request matches the rules above, the middleware waits until Laravel has created the response. Then it sends a form POST request to:

If Matomo tracking fails, the user response is still returned as normal. The error is reported through Laravel and logged with useful request details.

Testing
