-
-We invest a lot of resources into creating [best in class open source packages](https://spatie.be/open-source). You can support us by [buying one of our paid products](https://spatie.be/open-source/support-us).
-
-We highly appreciate you sending us a postcard from your hometown, mentioning which of our package(s) you are using. You'll find our address on [our contact page](https://spatie.be/about-us). We publish all received postcards on [our virtual postcard wall](https://spatie.be/open-source/postcards).
+This package provides a plug-and-play **server-side Matomo tracking middleware** for Laravel.
+Instead of embedding JavaScript trackers in your frontend, requests are tracked directly from your Laravel app to your Matomo instance, ensuring better privacy, ad-blocker resilience, and simplified integration.
 
 ## Installation
 
-You can install the package via composer:
+Install the package via Composer:
 
 ```bash
 composer require mattitjaab/matomo-proxy-laravel
 ```
 
-You can publish and run the migrations with:
-
-```bash
-php artisan vendor:publish --tag="matomo-proxy-laravel-migrations"
-php artisan migrate
-```
-
-You can publish the config file with:
+Publish the config file:
 
 ```bash
 php artisan vendor:publish --tag="matomo-proxy-laravel-config"
 ```
 
-This is the contents of the published config file:
+This will create a `config/matomo-proxy-laravel.php` file. Example:
 
 ```php
 return [
+    'enabled' => env('MATOMO_ENABLED', true),
+
+    // Full Matomo tracking endpoint (must include /matomo.php)
+    'base_url' => env('MATOMO_BASE_URL', ''),
+
+    // Matomo site ID
+    'site_id' => env('MATOMO_SITE_ID', null),
+
+    // Optional token_auth (can be null for anonymous tracking)
+    'token' => env('MATOMO_TOKEN', null),
+
+    // Paths that should never be tracked
+    'ignore' => [
+        'telescope/*', 'horizon/*', 'health', '_debugbar/*',
+    ],
+
+    // HTTP client behavior
+    'timeout' => env('MATOMO_TIMEOUT', 2),
+    'retry' => [
+        'times' => env('MATOMO_RETRY_TIMES', 0),
+        'sleep' => env('MATOMO_RETRY_SLEEP_MS', 100), // milliseconds
+    ],
 ];
 ```
 
-Optionally, you can publish the views using
-
-```bash
-php artisan vendor:publish --tag="matomo-proxy-laravel-views"
-```
-
 ## Usage
 
+Register the middleware globally in your `bootstrap/app.php`:
+
 ```php
-$matomoProxyLaravel = new MattitjaAB\MatomoProxyLaravel();
-echo $matomoProxyLaravel->echoPhrase('Hello, MattitjaAB!');
+->withMiddleware(function (Middleware $middleware): void {
+    $middleware->append(\MattitjaAB\MatomoProxyLaravel\Middleware\MatomoProxyLaravelMiddleware::class);
+})
 ```
 
+2. Configure your `.env` file:
+
+```dotenv
+MATOMO_ENABLED=true
+MATOMO_BASE_URL=https://analytics.example.com/matomo.php
+MATOMO_SITE_ID=1
+MATOMO_TOKEN=null
+MATOMO_TIMEOUT=2
+MATOMO_RETRY_TIMES=0
+MATOMO_RETRY_SLEEP_MS=100
+```
+
+✅ That’s it. All requests will now be tracked server-side in Matomo without requiring any frontend JS snippet.
