Cloudflare Dashboard and Cloudflare Web Analytics show very different number of visits
I have a static website on Cloudflare Pages, for which Cloudflare Web Analytics is enabled. This is the only thing I am hosting on Cloudflare, and I set it up less than 24 hours ago. On the Cloudflare Dashboard, I see 403.96k visitors in the last 7 days, whereas in Cloudflare Web Analytics it is 152.08k, a relative difference of 2.68. (In both cases, the number of page views is very close to the number of visits.) What could be the reason for this?

The Cloudflare Dashboard shows server-side analytics, meaning it will record every request to your domain (bots, utils, users, etc.)
On the free plan, their Web Analytics solution is client-side, and relies on Javascript to run and report data. This leaves is susceptible to being blocked by browser extensions. It will also not record all bot requests, particular if they are just requesting a specific page / resource, and not running in a browser.
