Description
Finding that matomo is massivly under reporting compared to GA. Found that if I do a export of the page URLs from mataomo there always seems to be a maximum of 1000 unique pages, but in analytics we have 20k unique page urls for that same day.
I have done some checking of the analytics API and done some quick testing and it appears the reporting API defaults to a page size of 1000 results. I made a quick modification in the following file `Google\GoogleQueryObjectFactory.php` after line 58 I added `$request->setPageSize(100000);` and did a quick import and can now see its pulling all unique url page views through.
However it only gets a couple days, maybe a months of data before it crashes.

Research direction
Start in Google\GoogleQueryObjectFactory.php, where the issue reports adding setPageSize(100000) after line 58, and reproduce an import covering more than a few days. Investigate the reported crash after importing longer periods and verify that all page URLs are imported without the 1000-result limit or the crash.
