Piwik tracking more events than GoogleAnalytics

I have a event that is fired in Piwik and Google Analytics when the pages loads. The event is firing something like "The product was viewed". However, I have a discrepancy between the numbers, in general 9% of difference.

Problems can be caused by:

  • Limit: 500 hits per session
  • Tracking blockers restricting only GA
  • Different time of Piwik and UA script execution
  • Sampling

But do not try to compare two different technologies, you will probably newer have exactly same data. Rather learn about limits and differencies.
