   Useful previews

   As someone who is often creating new pages, Netlify's preview makes the review process easier. You can also use the generated URL from Netlify's preview to run an SEO audit prior to going live. This is very useful for spotting bugs or broken redirects.

Plausible.io Reviews

   Happy Paying User :)

   I've been using plausible since Sep 2019 and never had any doubts about it. It provides me with everything I need related to visitor stats while keeping privacy in first place.

   It doesn't slow down my website loading speed (it's amazing, it's less than 1KB in size!), is not blocked by adblockers since it's not really a tracker tracker, and owners are super cool and they actually respond to every inquiry you could possibly have.

   If you're looking for de-googling your stuff, you can start with Plausible :)

   Plausibly simple analytics!

   I tried several analytics tools prior to Plausible, namely Google Analytics and later on Matomo. I found both to be fairly complicated for my usage which is a personal blog. Complicated in the way I had to install and use them. Plausible's simple to set up approach combined with a very clean and inviting user interface was a breath of fresh air. It's simple and clean enough that it actually makes me want to check and analyse my traffic which is a feeling I never thought I'd have having tried alternatives.

   Excellent alternative to google analytics

   It offers clear information about what I really need, without distractions, without advertising and does not slow my site.

  The site is deployed to Netlify. There's really nothing special to share about that since Netlify makes the deployment super easy. A quirk of Hugo on Netlify means that I do need to specify the Hugo version as an environment variable but otherwise the deployment just works. One specific requirement of my site is to override the default Hugo build method to include the -F or --buildFuture flag because my events are... - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago

  Cons are that it might be a bit heavy hitting for a simple website. You may find there to be a cost to host it, whereas using a static site generator will allow you to use the free tier on netlify.com. SSG's are easier to use and less work to do, including less security to worry about. Source: 9 months ago

• Any Google Analytics Alternatives?

  I think a single Google Analytics alternative is pretty hard to pick considering that GA can be used to very much varying extents. For simple and "detailed enough" insights, I enjoyed using Plausible (https://plausible.io/) in the past. For more in depth analytics that give you a detailed view into your own product, PostHog.com seems to be by far the best and most popular option out there. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

• We need to Speak about Google Code Quality

  I could do the same exercise with Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, but luckily I don't need to, since Plausible already did. A piece of advice, rip out Google Analytics and use Plausible instead. It first of all doesn't destroy your website, and secondly it doesn't violate the GDPR - So you can embed it on your site without having to warn your visitors about that they're being spied on by Google. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago

• Plausible as an alternative to Google Analytics

  I just swapped out Google Analytics with Plausible for AINIRO.IO. It’s only been a week, but so far I am super jazzed about it. First of all, Plausible doesn’t use cookies, so I can completely drop all cookie disclaimers and popups I had because of GDPR. Second of all, the site scores significantly better on load time. This results in a 10x better user experience for my website visitors, while making sure the... - Source: dev.to / 2 months ago
