How do I install a visitor ID tag on Laravel?
On Laravel, your visitor identification tag goes in: resources/views/layouts/*.blade.php via @stack/@push directives OR Spatie package @javascript directive. The install itself takes minutes; the part that goes wrong on Laravel is below.
Where the tag goes
- resources/views/layouts/*.blade.php via @stack/@push directives OR Spatie package @javascript directive.
- Paste your vendor’s tag snippet exactly as issued. Do not wrap it in extra script tags or reformat it.
- Publish or deploy, then verify (below) before trusting data.
What breaks visitor tracking on Laravel?
@push directives require parent template to have matching @stack; inline script tags not tracked by Laravel's manifest.
How do you verify the tag fires?
php artisan serve, inspect page source for <script> tag, check DevTools console for execution.
Then run through the labeled QA checklist before you rely on the numbers, and set expectations with the match-rate calculator — no vendor identifies every visitor.
