Why don't clicks match Google Analytics?

Two different tools measuring two different moments.

GoloLink logs a click the instant someone follows your short URL - before the redirect happens. Google Analytics (or a similar tool on your destination site) measures what happens after the visitor lands, and only if their browser lets its tracking script run.

Some visitors get redirected but never register in Google Analytics (ad blockers, blocked scripts, or leaving before the page finishes loading), so GoloLink's click count is usually higher. The two numbers describe different funnel stages, not the same event measured twice.
