plausible analytics on yovale, no consent gate.
Plausible is cookieless by design — no banner click required, no consent state to track, GDPR + ePrivacy clean by default. paste your domain (and an optional self-hosted URL) and the snippet renders for every visitor without any gate.
free trial. no credit card. all 30 integrations included on every plan.
Plausible layers inside every wordpress site.
Every cookie banner click is a chance the visitor declines analytics. EU consent rates hover around 60–70% — meaning 30–40% of European pageviews never reach GA4, and the data you do get is heavily skewed toward consenters.
no cookies. no banner. every visitor counted.
Plausible's data model uses no cookies and no persistent identifiers. there's literally nothing to consent to. EU traffic gets full pageview coverage instead of the 30–40% gap GA4 leaves under banner-driven sampling.
We and our partners use cookies for analytics, ads, and personalization. By clicking Accept you consent...
the data GA4 silently leaves on the table.
same site, same week, same traffic. Plausible counts every pageview. GA4 with consent banner counts only the ~60% who clicked Accept. for EU-heavy sites the gap is structural — and the missing 40% is biased toward exactly the visitors most likely to dislike tracking.
paste your domain. ship.
Yovale validates the domain shape at save. add an optional `api_host` if you self-host Plausible. the snippet renders in `<head>` on every page — no consent gate because Plausible doesn't drop cookies.

Plausible is cookieless — Yovale renders the snippet for every visitor without a banner.
lightest analytics on the page, measurably.
the Plausible script is sub-1KB gzipped. compared to GA4's ~50KB and a typical analytics plugin's PHP cost, the difference is real on Lighthouse and noticeable on slow connections.
privacy-first analytics, fully featured.
no consent banner, no DPIA exposure on the analytics layer.
point Yovale at plausible.io or your own Community Edition instance.
smallest mainstream analytics tag — no PageSpeed regression.
Plausible never identifies users across sites — fundamentally cookieless.
questions before you switch hosts for Plausible.
Do I need a cookie banner if I use Plausible?
No. Plausible doesn't set any cookies and doesn't track persistent identifiers, so there's nothing to consent to under GDPR or ePrivacy. Yovale doesn't insert a banner for Plausible.
Can I self-host Plausible and point Yovale at it?
Yes. The integration accepts an optional `api_host` field for Plausible Community Edition. Format: `https://your-instance.example.com`. Leave blank to use plausible.io.
How does Plausible compare to GA4 for accuracy?
On EU traffic Plausible is usually more accurate because it counts every visitor — GA4 misses the 30–40% who decline analytics consent. On US traffic the gap is smaller.
Will Plausible affect my PageSpeed score?
Negligibly. The snippet is under 1KB gzip and loads async. It's the lightest mainstream analytics tool on the market.
Can I run both GA4 and Plausible?
Yes — many teams do. GA4 for the Google Ads integration and benchmarking, Plausible for accurate EU pageview counts. Both ship from the Yovale tracking panel without conflict.
