Two sites two different sets of figures

Hi! Hoping somebody can answer my potentially silly question?
I like to look daily at the data as soon as it comes out but recently I've noticed that the figures on the Gov.Uk site and the worldometer site are completely out of step.
Eg today's deaths were 232 on gov.uk but 506 on worldometre site. Does anybody know why? I'm curious now

232 was yesterday's figure. You probably caught the Gov.UK site just as it was updating and until it's finished the previous day's figures can still show.

Is it? It's still showing now as Tuesday's figures..... how weird!

So would you say the worldometer is the correct one then?
