Published research covering web analytics, across all three editorial sections. Read each article’s sources, scope and assessment limits before applying its conclusions.
Plausible Analytics documents managed Cloud and self-hosted Community Edition. Evaluate event coverage under the selected edition; CE excludes named premium features and leaves infrastructure operations to the operator. Documentation-only, checked 2026-10-18; no product tests.
Umami documents website analytics with PostgreSQL and Docker deployment paths. Its source-installation default login and two-factor configuration need explicit setup before an event-collection trial. Documentation-only, checked 2026-10-18; no product tests.
