Issue with Google Analytics Tracking – GA indicates I’m averaging 20 hits/week but my Web Host indicates 1,000+ hits/week?

    Madness. GA/GA4 is properly configured for my site. Tag has been configured and published, code snippets were properly put/pasted in tracking manager, Google Analytics and Analytics 4 have been properly integrated, and everything tests ok – tag fires, test hit’s register for both GA and GA4. The problem is I’m getting a very small number of hits per day/per week according to GA/GA4, but my web host’s weekly report indicates I’m getting 1,000+ visitors every week?? I tried posting this issue with the Google chat forums, but never received a response. Anyone here with a similar issue and did you have any luck resolving it? I’m wondering if this may have something to do with consent settings (in Google Analytics) if all you use the website for is marketing services (I’m an Accountant) – I’m not selling a product of service using my website (to complete transactions). Any assistance would be appreciated.

    My Website address is: https://www.easllc.co/

    I’ll check with the open-source forum.

    My Web Host’s stats said I had 1251 Human Visitors and 53 Bots to my Website last week. Google Analytics said I had 8 Visitors.

    I’d really like to understand what the problem is.

    Thanks, Mike Faremouth
