Plausible Analytics is built from the ground up to be privacy-compliant and lightweight. It is more than 45 times smaller than the Google Analytics tracking script, ensuring your website loads incredibly quickly.
Why Host Plausible?
- Zero Cookies: You don’t need any annoying cookie consent banners on your website for analytics purposes.
- Ultra-Lightweight: The tracking script is under 1 KB, helping your search engine optimization (SEO) and user experience.
- Complete Ownership: By self-hosting, all your website’s analytics data remains purely under your own control, with zero third-party tracking.
Getting Started
The easiest way to self-host Plausible is using Docker Compose. They maintain an official community-supported repository that can be spun up in less than 5 minutes on a basic $6/month DigitalOcean droplet!
