What's the most popular Laravel sites?

I know http://builtwithlaravel.com/ has a bunch of examples of fairly popular Laravel sites. I recall reading somewhere that some new site for the BBC or something similar are built with Laravel, but I'm not positive.

I would suggest you let us know a bit more about what are you calling "scalability issues"

• What level of scalability issues are you talking about? 40k/s? or 5k/s?
• Infrastructure behind?
• What type of connections?
• What are the requirements for each connection? just a "200 - received" or do you need to process a complex algorithm that involves heavy I/O?

Depending on the answer to those questions will vary a lot the response, from "absolutely scalable" to "nope, wrong technology decision".

Old PHP Wordpress with proxies, CDN, WPO, load balancers, memcache, etc... can scale up to million visitors per day "Search Engine Land" for example. Brilliant nodejs code may end up filling to quickly a redis instance, later killed by a system daemon collapsing the system.

On a side note, many big and important places do not publish what are they built with for security reasons mainly.

For example, well known sport newspaper from Spain is using Symfony2, they have millions of requests daily, and those SF2 components are part of Laravel. I also know for sure of a world wide dating website with more than 5 years of existence and millions of profiles is running SF2 currently, once again Laravel core.

If they publish on date XX/XXXX that they are using framework blablabla, they wont be updating that framework production components regularly, hackers know that, so the company inherit the framework vulnerabilities.

When you read "we use blablabla", think they are using a fairly modified version, or they already passed several security audits, or it's a small/medium size project, or they are simply mad hehehe

Regarding Symfony, I do know that http://pornhub.com runs on Symfony 2, haha.

In case the domain doesn't make it obvious, that link is NSFW.

According to Wappalyzer, these are the top sites using Laravel -

1. laracasts.com 7,754
2. laravel.com 5,492
3. e-db.info 5,395
4. laravel.io 4,310
5. homestead.app 2,887
6. cfosurvey.dev 2,181
7. ebrepresentacao.dev 2,127
8. account.oneplus.net 2,098
9. mantrahub.my 1,937
10. admanager.app 1,903

None of these seem porn-ey so I have just pasted them straight in - but I can't promise they are SFW so be careful, just in case.

Also, bear in mind that a certain type of user uses Wappalyzer, so these may not be the top 10 sites when looking at a broader, perhaps more representative set of web users.

Whats the number there? ranking? visits per second? unique visitors per day? requests/hour?

Whats the number there?

Awesomeness points.

Whats the number there? ranking? visits per second? unique visitors per day? requests/hour?

Good question. From https://wappalyzer.com/applications/laravel?pk_campaign=chrome&pk_kwd=popup -

'These are the top Laravel websites based on the number of detections by Wappalyzer in the last 7 days.'

If you want to know more, go the Wappalyzer site.

Bear in mind that I qualified my answer heavily - that list is just a proxy so don't be too finicky about what this subset of result mean in the greater scheme of things.

Built With Laravel: 10+ Reputable Companies and Startups that Use Laravel Framework for their Web Projects

Would be good to see some more made with Laravel listed here. Most lists have half of the sites related to laravel.com itself. Even the built with sites do not show that much unless you pay. As Laravel is so popular I would have expected to find more. NB One I found and liked is https://www.startups.co/

I am not sure someone can hide the framework these days. You can easily see the framework used (and a lot more) here: http://builtwith.com/

This website https://www.tsikot.com uses Laravel. It is one of the largest automotive classifieds in the Philippines. Millions of page views and hundreds of thousands of users every month. It's among the 400 top classifieds worldwide (according to Similarweb), so good reference.
