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 🙂
