• Image optimization came back clean!
• Vuepress build was successful!
• No markdown files were changed, so no page checks were run!

@johnnymatthews @TMoMoreau any context behind adding this I could catch up on? (issue/notion/channel?)
Is there a longer plan to replace Countly across our stack and websites, or is Plausible limited to docs websites?

cc'd @BigLep @SgtPooki for visibility, as this potentially impacts ipfs-webui/ipfs-desktop and some other websites.

@lidel As far as I know, Plausible is limited to the Docs. I can't speak to the reason why Plausible is being used, that's a question for Johnny or Jenni.

@johnnymatthews is OoO for the next 2 weeks, @jennijuju is OoO for the day.

@lidel you can see more details about the plausible deployment here. You can see why we chose plausible here.

We'd like to test plausible out for at least one quarter and see if it provides the analytical metrics we need for improving our docs, before sunsetting the existing service like countly and GA. If you have any concerns about this proposed solution, feel free to leave a comment in the above notion page.

Currently, we dont have an active plan to deploy it to ipfs-related sites other than https://docs.ipfs.tech. Tho one of the pros of plausible is it's super easy to deploy, we have documented the process here.

Some additional nice things about Plausible:

• Open source and can be self hosted
• Analytics can be made public

Is there a longer plan to replace Countly across our stack and websites, or is Plausible limited to docs websites?

I was actually going to suggest that for the IPFS website and blog.

Thanks! I agree, it is worth testing it for a while. We will decide what to do with Countly after a quarter or two.

ps. @2color if you want, feel free to run a similar experiment on non-docs IPFS websites, including discourse forums (https://plausible.io/docs/discourse-integration). I suspect high % of people reading docs is technical enough to run adblocker which also kills plausible metrics when loaded via plausible.io domain. Unsure if we want to set up a proxy on plausible.ipfs.tech (https://plausible.io/docs/proxy/introduction) or just live with a partial blindeness here.

I've requested access to the linked notion pages. @jennijuju can you let me know when that's been granted?
