Site inspector clicks vs custom events heatmap click events

Hi there,

I can see there are a few topics around the site inspector but none quite like mine. So here it goes.

We have setup heatmap tracking via the standard guide provided by Piwik: About the site inspector for Chrome | Piwik PRO help center

I can see that the primary cta on a specific page on my website (anonymous) is clicked 966 via the site inspector for the time period 1 Apr 2026 - 17 Apr 2026, however, the custom events when I look at the same cta via a custom report in Piwik pro is only 126.

How should I interpret this data and why is there such a big difference?

I will share site and URL with Piwik Pro support team when we connect.

Hi! How is the custom event set up? Is it based on the clicked element or something else?
