How accurate is cloudflare analytics?

There are two Cloudflare “analytics” - one is the domain and the other is Web Analytics.

The domain analytics one is the one you see when you click the Analytics icon on the top row of options for your domain. That one report all requests going through Cloudflare and only works if the domain is proxied (orange cloud).

The other one is the Web Analytcs, accessible from the main dashboard.

This one works for either Cloudflare (automatically inserted when the request goes through Cloudflare) or non-Cloudflare domains (you can copy and paste a script, like you’d with Google Analytics).

This one only counts actual page views by browsers (or browser-based bots but you can filter the report) and should have a number closer to Google Analytics.
