New users who come directly to my website account for the majority of all visitors. Their sources cannot be found in GA and GSC. How can I check where those visitors come from?

well, you just said that they come DIRECTLY to your website, so that's the source
Direct hits means that the people simply type your website into their browser and visit it from there... or maybe they have it bookmarked and just load up the bookmark, this would also constitute a direct hit.

Yeah, that can be frustrating! A lot of times, direct traffic comes from people typing your URL, clicking links in emails, or even private messages. Try adding UTM tags to your links to track sources better—have you noticed any traffic spikes that might give a clue?

direct traffic means who types your site's URL and then hits it and visits your site. They just remember your site domain name and come directly without any third-party help like social media, blogs, or forums. That is why here the source is a direct hit source.
