Why Plausible?

Plausible is an open-source, privacy-focused alternative to Google Analytics. If you want to use it for a business application where you need to keep track of what buttons users click and what they do, Plausible may not be for you.

But, if you just want a simple implementation where you want to know how many visits your blog is getting, plausible is the quickest and best solution by far. It is lightweight, open source, and fully compliant with GDPR, and CCPA. So it might just be the next powerful tool in your arsenal.

You can even check out the live demo on the Plausible website to see how it will look once you deploy it on your website. Checkout the demo: https://plausible.io/plausible.io
