FAQ
-
Why should I stop using Google Analytics on my website? -
We may be biased but we don’t recommend you use Google Analytics on your WordPress site because of these reasons: It’s owned by Google, the largest ad-tech company in the world
It’s a bloated script that affects your site speed
It’s overkill for the majority of site owners
It’s a liability considering GDPR, CCPA and other privacy regulations
It uses cookies so you must obtain consent to store cookies
It’s blocked by many plugins and browsers so the data is not very accurate
It requires an extensive privacy policy
It’s abused by referral spam that skews the data
It’s a proprietary product so you need to put your trust in Google
It worsens the user experience due to the necessity for the annoying prompts Read more: https://plausible.io/blog/best-wordpress-analytics-plugins -
Why is Plausible not free like Google Analytics? -
Google Analytics is free because Google has built their company and their wealth by collecting and analyzing huge amounts of personal information from web users and using these personal and behavioral insights to sell advertisements. With Plausible, you 100% own and control all of your website data. This data is not being shared with or sold to any third-parties. Since we don’t make money from targeted advertisement, we must charge a subscription fee. Revenue from subscriptions is used to pay our rent, further develop Plausible and allow us to commit to Plausible and open source full time. -
