self-hosted plausible cannot be used

[jrutila]

🐛 The bug

According to the documentation, one should be able to use self-hosted plausible with plausibleAnalytics script: https://scripts.nuxt.com/scripts/plausible-analytics#self-hosted-plausible.

I sucessfully had my self-hosted plausible working in version 0.13.2. But with 1.0.6 I think the feature is broken.

Looking at the code of the plausibleAnalytics script (

scripts/packages/script/src/runtime/registry/plausible-analytics.ts

Lines 145 to 157 in 727e025

	if (useNewScript) {
	// New October 2025 format with unique script ID
	scriptSrc = `https://plausible.io/js/pa-${options.scriptId}.js`
	}
	else if (useLegacyScript) {
	// Legacy extension format
	const extensions = Array.isArray(options.extension) ? options.extension.join('.') : [options.extension]
	scriptSrc = `https://plausible.io/js/script.${extensions}.js`
	}
	else {
	// Legacy basic script
	scriptSrc = 'https://plausible.io/js/script.js'
	}

), it doesn't really override the default plausible.io src at any point.

I think "the magic" happens later, but am I using the scriptInput.src wrong now?

Event setting proxy: false does not seem to help, as the frontend still tries to load it from plausible.io. It removes the build time error, still.

🛠️ To reproduce

https://stackblitz.com/edit/nuxt-starter-sapvn3tf?file=nuxt.config.ts

🌈 Expected behavior

Without the self-hosted url, the reproduction should fail on this error:

ℹ Error: virtual:nuxt:%2Fhome%2Fprojects%2Fnuxt-starter-pkwfkx%2F.nuxt%2Fmodules%2F%40nuxt-scripts%2Fplugin.mjs — "https://plausible.io/js/pa-non-existing.js": <no response> fetch failed

When adding the commented out scriptInput.src (as instructed in doc) to nuxt.config.ts it should fail while trying the my-self-hosted-plausible.io instead of plausible.io.

RESULT:

ℹ Error: virtual:nuxt:%2Fhome%2Fprojects%2Fnuxt-starter-pkwfkx%2F.nuxt%2Fmodules%2F%40nuxt-scripts%2Fplugin.mjs — "https://plausible.io/js/pa-non-existing.js": <no response> fetch failed

EXPECTED RESULT:

ℹ Error: virtual:nuxt:%2Fhome%2Fprojects%2Fnuxt-starter-pkwfkx%2F.nuxt%2Fmodules%2F%40nuxt-scripts%2Fplugin.mjs — "https://my-self-hosted-plausible.io/js/pa-non-existing.js": <no response> fetch failed
