Frequently asked questions about Cloudfare Web Analytics
Why do the traffic numbers in Cloudflare not match those in other platforms like GA4 or Mixpanel?
Differences between platforms often stem from variations in attribution models, traffic filtering criteria, or tracking implementation errors. Trackingplan compares your Cloudflare data against other tools to identify significant discrepancies and helps you understand whether these are due to different configurations, bot traffic filtering, or event firing issues. This enables you to align your data sources and make confident decisions.
How can I verify that all pageviews are being properly tracked?
Cloudflare relies on automatic pageview tracking, but if your site uses modern frameworks like React or Next.js with SPA navigation, pageviews might not register properly. Trackingplan validates that all expected pageview events are sent and alerts you if any are missing, duplicated, or if navigation is not generating the necessary events—ensuring you don’t lose visibility into real user behavior.
