PlausibleAnalytics — Full-featured Plausible Analytics dashboard

[maximus]

Hi everyone,

I've built a module that integrates Plausible Analytics directly into the admin — with a full dashboard, charts, and a per-page stats widget on the edit screen.

GitHub: https://github.com/mxmsmnv/PlausibleAnalytics

What it does:

• Dashboard under Setup → Analytics with summary cards (Visitors, Pageviews, Bounce Rate, Visit Duration)
• Traffic trends chart + Top Pages bar chart + Traffic Sources donut chart
• Tabbed breakdown: Geography, Devices, Browsers
• Per-page widget on the page-edit screen — shows last 30 days stats inline
• Period selector: Today / 7d / 30d / 6m / 12m
• API response caching via LazyCron (configurable interval)
• Self-hosted Plausible support via custom base URL
• Chart.js vendored locally — no external CDN dependency
• Role-based access via plausible-view permission

Screenshots:

Page-edit widget:

Built on Stats API v2 (POST /api/v2/query). The module handles all v2 quirks internally — event vs session metrics split, correct date_range values, visit:entry_page filter for per-page session stats.

Happy to answer questions. Bug reports and PRs welcome!

@maximus this looks awesome! Is the dashboard interactive? On your screenshot it doesn't look like it is.

So for example when a user clicks on "Instagram" in the sources panel would it filter for that source or segment etc?

Or is it intended as a basic dashboard and advanced insights would be via plausibles dashboard itself? eg like in the demo https://plausible.io/plausible.io

Yes, I understand what you're talking about. There is no interactivity in the module, only dry data for the period. I think I'll think about it in the next versions.

That would be really cool! On the other hand I had problems when using Plausible as data grew extremely large on a very small site over a very short period of time... So I'm not using it at the moment and went with the oldschool (and ugly) matomo... Your dashboard looks definitely a lot better, so I'm looking forward to seeing where you bring this 🙂

Quick update — pushed v1.3.0 today.

Added dark mode support (all colors follow AdminThemeUikit CSS variables automatically) and interactive filtering: click any row in Pages, Sources, Geography, Devices, or Browsers to filter all widgets at once. Active filters show as removable tags at the top of the dashboard and are stored in the URL. Thanks @bernhard
