The Plausible Dashboard requires the Plausible integration to be connected. If Plausible is not enabled, this page will display a message asking you to connect it.
The Plausible Dashboard embeds your Plausible Analytics dashboard directly inside Outpost, giving you site traffic data without leaving your publication’s admin panel.
For more detailed analytics — including custom goals, funnels, and detailed breakdowns — log into Plausible directly with the email Outpost added as a user on the account. The embedded dashboard in Outpost shows the most common metrics, but Plausible’s full interface offers additional depth.

What you get

Plausible provides privacy-friendly analytics that don’t require cookies or consent banners. When embedded in Outpost, you see the embedded Plausible dashboard, including:
  • Unique visitors — How many distinct people visited your site
  • Total pageviews — Total pages loaded across all visitors
  • Bounce rate — Percentage of visitors who left after viewing one page
  • Visit duration — Average time visitors spend on your site
  • Top pages — Your most-visited content
  • Traffic sources — Where your visitors are coming from (search, social, referrals, direct)
  • Locations — Geographic breakdown of your audience
  • Devices — Browser, OS, and screen size distribution

​
Time period controls

The embedded dashboard includes Plausible’s standard time-period selector. You can view traffic for:
  • Today
  • Last 7 days
  • Last 30 days
  • Last 6 months
  • Last 12 months
  • Custom date range

Setting up Plausible

1

Connect the integration in Outpost

Go to the Plausible integration page in Outpost and connect Plausible. Outpost hosts and pays for the shared Plausible account and adds your site to it for you — there’s no separate Plausible signup or API key to manage.
2

Add the tracking snippet to Ghost

Copy the snippet Outpost generates on the integration screen and paste it into Ghost under Settings → Code injection → Site Header. See the Plausible integration guide for the full walkthrough.
3

Open the dashboard

Once connected, the embedded dashboard appears automatically under Reports & Activity → Plausible Dashboard.

Plausible Integration

Connect your Plausible account to enable the embedded dashboard.

Outpost Dashboard

Member growth charts and subscription reporting.

CTA Dashboard

Track CTA conversion rates and top-performing slots.

​
FAQ

No. Outpost hosts and pays for a shared Plausible account that includes your site, so you don’t need your own Plausible subscription. Outpost embeds that dashboard inside your admin panel, and can add your team’s email addresses as users on the account if you want to log into Plausible directly.
There’s no separate Plausible bill for you — Outpost covers the Plausible hosting and billing as part of the integration. (Plausible is a paid analytics service; Outpost runs and pays for the account that holds your site.)
Your Plausible integration is not yet configured. Go to the Plausible integration page to connect your account.
The embedded dashboard only supports Plausible. However, you can install any analytics script directly on your Ghost site independently of Outpost.
