Your site analytics
Get insights into how many people are viewing your stories and where that traffic is coming from.
You can see how many people are visiting your stories using Prezly's built-in analytics section on the site's Activity & Visitors page.
- Choose Sites in the sidebar and click on the site you want to view
- From the site dashboard that appears, click on the Activity & visitors block:
3. Scroll down to see the visitor analytics
Look in the right sidebar for 'Analytics - view story performance' and click this to view analytics for a specific story or the view story analytics link.
This takes you to a filtered page in site analytics showing just a single story, where you can view traffic, sources, pages, locations and devices.
You will be able to see how many people visited your site from 20 August 2022 onwards.
Your Prezly site analytics are powered by data from Plausible Analytics, an open-source project dedicated to making web analytics more privacy-friendly. That means full GDPR compliance, no personally identifiable information, and no cookies 🍪
You can learn more about the company's ethical stance on web analytics on Plausible's about page. For all the details on how they collect and handle data, please see Plausible's data policy.
We chose Plausible over other providers, like Google, because of their team's strong ethics and their tool's accessibility. Simply put, you don't need to read a 30-page manual to get to grips with their data.

That's no problem at all – you'll simply be able to view both your usual Google Analytics and your new analytics area, powered by Plausible.
It's worth mentioning that the data shown within the two tools may differ, as many sites block Google Analytics from tracking visits. Plausible's published research into this phenomenon shows that your actual traffic may be 6% to 26% higher than what Google Analytics shows.
