And here are my stats for January 28th with Google Analytics:

Why might my statistical results be different between Google Analytics and CloudFlare's analytics?

On one side, Google Analytics is very reputable and been there for years. On the other side, CloudFlare is a CDN, thus your site's content is distributed around their servers around the globe, so they claim that their analytics are more accurate than other services (implying GA) who rely on JavaScript.

Note: Google Analytics is installed on pages automatically by Cloudflare. They inject it on all pages even 404 pages.

As CloudFlare's analytics come from the backend, they include every request for an image, favicon, CSS, etc. and confusingly calls it "page views". Google's analytics shows page views as the user would see and read them, a whole page containing images, html, css etc. and calls them "page views" as well.

Google Analytics is based on JavaScript running on the client whereas CloudFlare's numbers are based on how many requests they get for each resource.

Analytics is more likely to be showing legitimate users running full browsers, whereas CloudFlare's requests could be coming from bots or other sources
