Plausible
Get simple, useful website insights without complexity. Track key metrics, funnels, and SEO performance with a fast, privacy-first, cookie-free analytics tool.
Understand your website's performance without the complexity of traditional analytics. This tool provides clear, actionable insights on a single, easy-to-read dashboard. It's built to be lightweight and fast, with a script that is significantly smaller than Google Analytics, ensuring your website loads quickly for a better user experience.
Privacy is a core principle. The platform does not use cookies and collects no personal data, meaning you don't need an annoying cookie banner and can fully respect your visitors' privacy. All data is processed on EU-owned infrastructure, ensuring compliance with GDPR.
Key features include:
- Simple, codeless goal tracking for conversions, file downloads, and external link clicks.
- Conversion funnels to identify where visitors drop off in key user journeys.
- SEO performance analysis by integrating with Google Search Console to see search queries.
- Automatic tracking for scroll depth and traffic from AI tools like ChatGPT.
- Built-in bot filtering to ensure your stats reflect real human activity.
