A privacy-focused analytics migration should keep the privacy properties users were promised. For Plausible CE alternatives, compare data collection and reporting on the same site.
- Document pageview, visitor, referrer, and goal definitions before installing a second tracker.
- Test consent behavior, script blocking, and exclusions for internal traffic.
- Compare timezone boundaries, campaign attribution, and historical export.
- Review self-hosting workload, retention, access roles, and data processing locations.
- Confirm the alternative does not collect extra identifiers by default.
Parallel measurements may differ because methods differ. Explain those differences instead of assuming a closer number is automatically more accurate.
