All analytics features in Ghost, including web analytics, newsletter opens, newsletter clicks, member sources and outbound link tagging can be turned off directly in Settings → Analytics.

Analytics integrations

If you'd like to use external tools for your analytics, that's entirely possible too. Here are a few common integrations that other Ghost publishers use for web, product, and subscription analytics:

  • Google Analytics — A very popular free option to get detailed insights about your site traffic and traffic sources.
  • Plausible — A great alternative to Google Analytics which is open source and privacy-focused, with a much smaller script to keep your site performance in check.
  • Amplitude — A more advanced integration for product analytics, useful for membership websites that want to track how their members browse content.
  • ChartMogul — Best-in-class subscription data platform, useful for paid publications that need detailed revenue stats.
