About the technology

What is Plausible?

Plausible is a lightweight open-source web analytics platform that can operate without cookies and persistent personal visitor profiles in its standard setup. Whether a specific setup meets consent and privacy requirements depends on its configuration, hosting, additional scripts and intended use.

As an independent service provider, we support the installation, configuration and optimisation of Plausible. Privacy and consent requirements are assessed for the specific tracking setup.

Plausible Features

  • Simple and Clear Analytics

    Get all essential insights on one page in one minute - without complicated menu layers or having to create custom reports or dashboards.
  • Lightweight Script

    The lightweight analytics script reduces browser overhead compared with broad tracking suites; the actual impact on load time and resource use is measured for the concrete setup.
  • Privacy-friendly web analytics

    Plausible does not use cookies or persistent identifiers for web analytics. Whether consent or additional documentation is still required depends on the concrete integration, additional scripts and your legal context.
  • Comprehensive Conversion Tracking

    Goals, campaigns, scroll depth, outbound links and downloads can be measured. Revenue data, funnels and advanced analysis depend on edition and configuration.
  • Flexible Sharing Options

    Make your statistics publicly accessible, share them privately via secure links, embed the dashboard in your website, or invite team members to collaborate.
  • Transparent Open Source Software

    The source code is available on GitHub, allowing anyone to view and verify it. If needed, you can also self-host Plausible and maintain control over data location and access.

    Target architecture

    Integrate Plausible into your infrastructure with clear controls

    Monitoring and analytics need reliable data sources, an appropriate storage strategy and alert paths that connect to real operating processes.

    Systems, applications and events

    Metrics, logs, availability checks or usage events are collected in a controlled way.

    Secure access

    TLS, firewall rules, reverse proxies or private network paths are designed around the platform's exposure.

    Identity and permissions

    Local accounts, SSO, directories, service accounts and emergency access are connected through clear roles.

    Plausible platform

    Queries, dashboards, rules, tenants and retention are operated according to the observation objective.

    Data sources and collectors

    Agents, exporters, APIs and secure connections to monitored systems.

    Metrics, logs and events

    Storage, retention, aggregation and capacity planning according to data volume.

    Alerting and tickets

    Deduplication, escalation and handoff to agreed operational and support paths.

    The diagram is a resilient target model. Its implementation depends on edition, data flows, load, availability objectives and existing infrastructure.

    Client feedback and projects worldwide

    WZ-IT moved our studio infrastructure from decentralised individual devices to a central platform: every site is securely connected via VPN, new devices are onboarded automatically and an entire site is provisioned from a template, without manual steps on location. What impressed me most is the breadth and depth of their knowledge: Timo and Robin are not a typical IT provider who sets up a server and leaves. The two of them think their way into highly complex infrastructure and software topics, work through every requirement we put in front of them, and build networking, provisioning and operations so that everything fits together in the end. WZ-IT is an excellent partner for complex software, network and architecture projects.
