For the enterprise plan, do you offer a formal SLA with uptime guarantees and compensation credits? I can't find specific percentages on the pricing page.
What the pages say
No page on the site addresses this.
The fix
Add a dedicated SLA or status page, or include explicit uptime guarantees and compensation credit terms on the Enterprise pricing page.

If I pay for enterprise support, what's the actual guaranteed response time for critical issues—4 hours, 24 hours? The pricing page says 'priority' but doesn't define it.
What the pages say
None of the retrieved chunks specify a guaranteed response time for critical issues under enterprise support, nor do they define what “priority” support means. The Enterprise plan is described as including custom limits, SSO, managed proxy, and Sites API, but support SLAs or response times are not mentioned anywhere on the retrieved pages.
The fix
Add a dedicated Support/SLA or Enterprise plan details page that explicitly defines guaranteed response times for critical issues and explains what “priority” support includes.

I run a WordPress multisite network with 40 subsites. Does your plugin handle network-wide activation, or do I need to configure each site individually?
What the pages say
The retrieved chunks confirm that Plausible offers a WordPress plugin for standard installations, but none of them mention whether it supports WordPress multisite network activation or subsite-level configuration. The only multisite mentions in the chunks refer to third-party search plugins (Relevanssi and SearchWP), not Plausible's own analytics plugin.
The fix
Add explicit documentation on the WordPress plugin page or in a FAQ stating whether Plausible supports WordPress multisite network activation and how to configure it across subsites.

For white-label analytics, can I use my own subdomain like analytics.myagency.com, or am I limited to a subdirectory on your domain?
What the pages say
Plausible describes two white-label integration paths—an embedded dashboard (iframe via the Sites API) and a fully custom UI built with the Stats API—but the retrieved chunks do not specify whether you can host the dashboard on your own subdomain (e.g., analytics.myagency.com) or if you are limited to a subdirectory on Plausible's domain.
The fix
Add a FAQ or documentation section on the white-label page that explicitly states whether customers can use a custom subdomain, a subdirectory, or only iframe/API integration for white-label dashboards.

06Your CCPA compliance page says you don't 'sell' data, but under CCPA's broad definition, does sharing with your hosting provider or payment processor count as a sale requiring disclosure?privacyHedges+2 pts est.+−
Your CCPA compliance page says you don't 'sell' data, but under CCPA's broad definition, does sharing with your hosting provider or payment processor count as a sale requiring disclosure?
What the pages say
Plausible states that they "do not sell your data and only share it with trusted service providers where necessary to operate and provide the service," and they identify Hetzner as the German company that owns their servers. Their compliance documentation also states that "No data is shared with or sold to third parties." However, the chunks do not explicitly address whether sharing with a hosting provider or payment processor qualifies as a "sale" under CCPA's broad definition, nor do they identify a specific payment processor or provide a CCPA-specific analysis of service-provider sharing.
The fix
Add a dedicated CCPA compliance FAQ or section that explicitly defines "sale" under CCPA, lists subprocessors (hosting provider, payment processor), and states whether such sharing is considered a sale or falls under the service-provider exception.

Using your Looker Studio connector, how often does the data refresh—real-time, hourly, or daily? I need near real-time for our ops dashboard.
What the pages say
The retrieved chunks do not specify how often the Plausible Looker Studio connector refreshes data. While the site mentions that Looker Studio reports are “dynamic” and “automatically update whenever the original data source changes, ensuring your reports automatically reflect the most current information” ([3], [13]), it does not state whether the connector provides real-time, hourly, or daily data updates. The Plausible realtime dashboard itself updates every 30 seconds ([4]), but this is distinct from the Looker Studio connector refresh behavior.
The fix
Add a dedicated FAQ or documentation section for the Looker Studio connector that explicitly states the data refresh interval (e.g., real-time, hourly, or daily) and whether near real-time is supported for ops dashboards.

Your UTM builder is handy, but what's the maximum character length you'll store for UTM campaign names? I have some very long campaign identifiers from our ad platform.
What the pages say
Plausible describes `utm_campaign` as flexible and allows any campaign identifier, but the retrieved documentation does not specify a maximum character length for stored UTM campaign names.
The fix
Document the maximum character length (if any) for UTM campaign, source, medium, content, and term values stored in Plausible.

I'm building a dashboard that pulls from your API every 5 minutes. Is there a daily request limit or rate limit I should know about?
What the pages say
API keys have a rate limit of 600 requests per hour by default. The retrieved chunks do not mention a separate daily request limit.
The fix
Clarify in the API documentation whether there is a daily request limit in addition to the hourly rate limit.

migrationAnswered
We're switching from Google Analytics—can you import our historical data, or do we start from zero? If import is possible, how far back does it go?
What the pages say
Yes, you can import your historical Google Analytics data into Plausible; you do not start from zero. Plausible imports data from your first Google Analytics visitor until your first Plausible Analytics visitor to avoid double-counting. The practical lookback limit is constrained by Google's data retention policies: for Universal Analytics, Plausible can import as far back as your UA data retention settings allow; for GA4, Google defaults to 2 months of event-level data retention (14 months on paid GA4 plans), and once Google deletes that data it cannot be recovered.

I'm on the 10k pageviews plan and hit my limit mid-month. Does Plausible stop tracking entirely, or do I get billed for overages automatically?
What the pages say
Plausible does not stop tracking, and you are not billed automatically for overages. On the 10K plan, a single month over your limit requires no action and won't trigger extra charges or an upgrade. You would only need to upgrade if your traffic consistently exceeds 10K for two consecutive months. Even if your dashboard were temporarily locked after two consecutive over-limit months, stats continue to be collected in the background.

securityAnswered
You mention EU-hosted analytics, but where exactly are your servers located? Are they all in Germany, or spread across multiple EU countries?
What the pages say
Plausible's infrastructure is spread across multiple EU countries, not solely Germany. All visitor data is stored on servers owned by Hetzner in Falkenstein, Germany. They use UpCloud, a Finnish company, for database hosting and storage of data exports, and Bunny, a Slovenian company, as their CDN. These are the only three providers that touch visitor data, and all three are European-owned, ensuring no visitor data is transferred outside the EEA.

technicalAnswered
You claim 'more accurate' data than GA, but what percentage of visitors do you actually capture when adblockers are present? Do you have any proxy or server-side workaround?
What the pages say
Plausible says its default script is blocked by roughly 6–26% of visitors depending on the site and audience (up to 60% on very tech-savvy sites), so it captures roughly 74–94% of visitors by default (or about 40% in extreme tech-savvy cases). It is not blocked by Firefox, Chrome, or Safari out of the box, but is blocked by some ad-blocker extensions that block all JavaScript tracking indiscriminately. For a workaround, Plausible offers a proxy option that routes the script through your own domain as a first-party connection; when proxied, Plausible says it is “not blocked by any browser or adblocker” and is only blocked by visitors who disable JavaScript entirely.

Your conversion tracking mentions funnels, but can I set up multi-step funnels with conditional branching, or only linear page sequences?
What the pages say
Plausible only supports linear page sequences, not multi-step funnels with conditional branching. Their documentation explicitly states: "Funnels in Plausible are always linear. Each funnel follows one defined path from start to finish. Branching or conditional paths are not supported. If you need to compare two different paths, create two separate funnels."
