HUGE differences between reports on piwik and Google analytics

Support & Bugs

Hi there, This is my first message here,

Some days ago, since know about piwik and the goods comments in a forum, I decided install it on my server. All run well, (run in hostgator). The only issue I solved with the customer support (withe list the domain where piwik is installed), and really was with the pluging with wordpress WP-Piwinc, instead piwik directly.

Now, I’m running the twoo statistics system (piwik and analytics) some days, but I fond a HUGE differences between both system in visits.numbers. piwik, double the numbers of visits (today report).

Here some screenshots

[size=large]Analytics[/size]

[size=large]Piwik[/size]

I understand that the two systemns works different, but I’m surprised for the great differences between one and other one.

Greetings
Valentín.

Please read Troubleshooting - Analytics Platform - Matomo

Other than that it is hard to say where the difference in numbers comes from. Especially for low visit counts a lot of the difference can come from search engines being tracked/not tracked.

When Piwik tracks more its a good sign: it is more accurate. Look however for number of page views rather than visits.
