Why website development freelancers/agencies + their clients love to use Plausible:

We try to be more, well, present! With the right people looking at the right messages, we do our best to respond to everything with context & care.

It's also the number 1 thing that has helped shape Plausible.

We don't intend to ever stop doing that––with 10 folks on the team, or a 100, or 100000.

How we approach communications at Plausible?

We actually try to listen. Too often, companies commoditise support, socials and other communication channels by putting people on there, who don’t really understand the product, the problems, mission, or what the people are asking.

So you don't have to second-guess your numbers or worry about 'fixing' anything on your own. 😃

but the tool has already recorded it as a pageview.

Result: Inflated, misleading stats.

Plausible has been correctly handling this case by counting pageviews only when they're actually visited by real people––no counting of pre-rendered pages, no confusion.​

There's been some discussion about many analytics tools counting pageviews without actual visitors. This happens when Chromium-based browsers, WordPress, etc., pre-render a page (for quicker loading) before an actual click has occurred.

The visitor may or may not click & visit the page, but...

Second guessing the numbers on an Analytics dashboard defeats the purpose of analytics.

Accuracy matters.

Thanks for supporting, all the best!

Congrats on the switch 🎉

How to scale with Plausible when you have too many websites to track and don't want to add them through the UI one-by-one?

➡️ Make use of our Sites API. You can:

Deeper insights are usually not present in A/B testing tools, but you can make use of Custom Properties to analyze your A/B tests from a web analytics' perspective.

Connect behavior like scroll depth, bounce rate, pageviews, etc., to each test variation – without cookies, cross-session tracking.😍

- One CTA leads to more clicks, but also a higher bounce rate – meaning people clicked, then left right away.

Which one’s better? It depends on what you care about.

⬇️

A/B test results usually yield much more insight than just "who was the winner." It's possible that:

- While Headline A gets 20% more sign-ups, Headline B slashes the bounce rate and encourages visitors twice as far down the page.
