Plausible Analytics Is A High Value PlugIn
I am very impressed with this plugin. It provides an excellent range of information to review on a daily basis, without being cumbersome. It lets me keep a finger on the pulse of my website, and provides an interconnectivity with users that is natural and intuitive. When you put a lot of work into a website, it so important to find a way to track visitors to the site, without getting buried in the analytics, and a confusing set of directions. In my opinion, the developers of this plugin are brilliant. They clearly know what they are doing. They have a grassroots type approach, and treat you like a real person when you contact them. I would give them a five star review any day of the week, and am so glad I found this option for tracking visitors on my website. It's by far the best tracking plugin I have used thus far, over a period of ten years. All I can say is thank you!
