    When did you add Google Analytics to your site?

    For some reason different analytic software programs produce different stats. It sounds like Google Analytics is under-reporting the stats. Personally I use analytics tools more for comparison than for exact numbers. Even if the numbers aren't 100% accurate, you can still analyze trends and use those stats to improve your website and marketing efforts.

    Most likely, GA is reporting correctly, unless some visitors have a do not track extension (or similar) installed. However, you also need to consider the timezone difference. Make sure your GA is set to the same one as your site/server.

    By the way, StatPress is an ancient plugin (no longer even maintained) and is most likely reporting bots as visitors, which is completely wrong. Get rid of StatPress and install something up to date (although why you need such a plugin I don't know, if you're already using GA).

    Also, you should ensure that yours (and any of your staff's - if you have any) visits are ignored, or they will artifically inflate the data and skew it.

    When did you added analytics. May be when you added analytics already there would be 25 visitors. Since analytics produces real time results, so we can doubt on analytics.
