FAQ

Besøg Plausible Analytics-webstedet for at få flere oplysninger. Og for at få svar på alle de ofte stillede spørgsmål, tjek vores dokumentation.

Hvorfor skal jeg stoppe med at bruge Google Analytics på mit websted?

Vi kan være partiske, men vi anbefaler ikke, at du bruger Google Analytics på dit WordPress-websted på grund af disse grunde:

Det ejes af Google, den største reklameteknologivirksomhed i verden↵
Det er et oppustet script, der påvirker dit websteds hastighed↵
Det er overkill for de fleste webstedsejere↵
Det er et ansvar i betragtning af GDPR, CCPA og andre fortrolighedsbestemmelser↵
Den bruger cookies, så du skal indhente samtykke til at gemme cookies↵
Det er blokeret af mange plugins og browsere, så dataene er ikke særlig nøjagtige↵
Det kræver en omfattende privatlivspolitik↵
Det misbruges af henvisningsspam, der skævvrider dataene↵
Det er et proprietært produkt, så du skal stole på Google↵
Det forværrer brugeroplevelsen på grund af nødvendigheden af de irriterende prompter

Hvorfor er Plausible ikke gratis ligesom Google Analytics?

Google Analytics er gratis, fordi Google har bygget deres virksomhed og deres rigdom ved at indsamle og analysere enorme mængder personlige oplysninger fra webbrugere og bruge disse personlige og adfærdsmæssige indsigter til at sælge annoncer.

Med Plausible ejer og kontrollerer du 100 % alle dine webstedsdata. Disse data bliver ikke delt med eller solgt til nogen tredjepart. Da vi ikke tjener penge på målrettet annoncering, skal vi opkræve et abonnementsgebyr.

Revenue from subscriptions is used to pay our rent, further develop Plausible and allow us to commit to Plausible and open source full time. There’s a more elaborate explanation given here: https://plausible.io/paid-analytics-vs-free-ga

I was looking for a cookie-less Analytics solution with great dashboard UX to share with clients, to complement my cookie-based Analytics stack. In Plausible I have found that! In addition, their support system is fabulous. Quick, to the point, and knowledgeable. That is a rare find these days.
29. august, 2025
It is very reliable and well supported web analytics that includes WordPress plugin. I am utilizing community edition which is good for my low traffic websites.
5. marts, 2025
The plugin overall works amazingly well. When something is not working as expected, the support responds at ninja-level speed with actionable solutions. Would give 10 stars if I could!

I hate when plugin providers don’t mention that the plugin requires 1. a registration on their website 2. a paid subscription after a short trial How hard can it be to mention this right away to save users time and anger? I would never subscribe to any service where the provider isn’t up front and transparent about their business model. Thanks for wasting my time.
29. maj, 2024
Installation is quick and easy, and the interface is clean and user-friendly, perfect for both beginners and experts. By not using cookies and complying with GDPR, it ensures user privacy. Additionally, its impact on site performance is minimal due to its lightweight script. If you’re looking for a straightforward alternative to Google Analytics, Plausible is the ideal choice. Highly recommended!
10. februar, 2024
I went with plausible for a simpler and privacy-focused alternative to GA and it does not disappoint. Clear analytics, simple to use, great for our users. When I encountered an issue after an update, they responded within minutes and helped troubleshoot. Can’t recommend it enough.
