Switching from Google Analytics

Your data: Plausible imports historical stats from Google Analytics 4 (GA4) properties.

  1. Open the Plausible site settings for the website and find Import Data under Imports & Exports.
  2. Click the Google Analytics button and link your Google account.
  3. Pick the GA property, click Continue, then Confirm import.
  4. You get an email when it's done; imported data then shows alongside your Plausible stats.

Watch out for:

  • Large sites can take up to a couple of hours because of Google's API limits.
  • You can hide imported data from the chart's options menu (Include imported data).
  • These steps are from Plausible's docs, written for its hosted service.
