Adblockers
Google Analytics domains are blocked by nearly all ad blocker extensions, so those visitors never show up. kindstats script still loads for roughly 95% of visitors.
Most Adblockers stop the Google Analytics script before it loads, and consent banners will annoy the rest. Make the switch now and clean, reliable, fast, privacy-first analytics.

The gap between your server logs and your Google Analytics reports has three causes.
Google Analytics domains are blocked by nearly all ad blocker extensions, so those visitors never show up. kindstats script still loads for roughly 95% of visitors.
Google Analytics sets cookies, kindstats does not. Everyone who rejects or ignores your cookie banner vanishes from your reports, leading to real visibility gaps.
As traffic grows, GA4 explorations run on a sample of your data, and thresholding hides rows with few users. kindstats queries your full event data on every dashboard load and shows exact counts.
