Why is reporting on Google Analytics and Console so different?

[Sharon_Herrman]

Hi,

I've been wondering why Google Console reporting on website activity is so much less than on Analytics.  I have submitted each variation of https:/http: with and without www.  The most accurate seems to be https://zeldassong.com, but it is still way off in terms of daily traffic.  I submitted the sitemap maybe 4+ months ago.

Any insight?

Thanks,

Sharon

Hi Sharon, 

A small difference is to be expected, because these are javascript based systems. Sometimes they don't load correctly in all of your clients' browsers. How big is the difference you're seeing? If it's too big, there's probably a problem.
