Question about visitor statistics disparity

[krismania]

Hello everyone! So I have this wordpress pluging WP Statistics that shows that I have around 10~ visitors daily and it even shows their countries, IPs and and the browsers they are using. On the other hand I have Google Analytics that says that I haven't had any visitors since the day I listed my website in the property menu. I am a bit confused.. Do I have visitors or not? Which one should I trust? WP Statistics or Google Analytics?

Trust Google Analytics.

WP Statistics might be showing bot traffic also.

Too bad then.. I thought I had some traffic to my website. Thanks, anyways.

if you dig into g analytics it may show you those 10 hits somewhere.
they could have been bots/spiders/whatever that they filtered out instead of showing it like WP-statistics
i would rely on g analytics/ their competitors like yandex metrica, clicky, matomo (formerly piwik) instead of WP plugins which in my experience cause a lot of bloat and inaccuracy.
