Plausible Analytics is a simple, lightweight (< 1 KB), open-source, and privacy-friendly alternative to Google Analytics1. It’s designed to provide website owners with valuable insights about their traffic, bounce rate, and visit duration without collecting any personal or identifiable data from visitors1.

One of the key aspects that sets Plausible Analytics apart from many other web analytics providers is its commitment to privacy. It’s built as a privacy-first web analytics tool1. By using Plausible, you don’t need to compromise the user experience of your website. You don’t need to have any prompts to obtain consent for GDPR, CCPA or PECR. You don’t need to show any cookie banners either1.

Now, why would you want to self-host Plausible Analytics?

Here are some reasons:
Full Control: Self-hosting Plausible gives you full control over your data. You can host your instance on any server in any country that you wish2. Access to Raw Data: If you want access to the raw data, self-hosting gives you that option. You can take the data directly from the ClickHouse database2. Cost-Effective: Self-hosting Plausible is free as in beer. You only need to pay for your server and whatever cost there is associated with running a server3.
Lightweight and Dockerized: Plausible Analytics is designed to be self-hosted through Docker4. It’s lightweight and easy to install while remaining flexible enough to adjust to your existing infrastructure5.
In conclusion, if you’re looking for a privacy-friendly, open-source alternative to Google Analytics that gives you full control over your data and is cost-effective, then self-hosting Plausible Analytics could be an excellent choice for you.
