Missing photos on I cloud

I have recently logged into my icloud photos and found that 5 years worth of my photos are missing. They should go back as far as October 2013, however I can only see as far back as August 2018. It is also telling me I only have 241 photos backed up ....last time I checked I had over 1000. Can someone please help? I had some very important pictures stored which were of high sentimental value.


Thanks in advance :)

You have not mentioned how the photos are stored in iCloud.com , have you set up iPhone / Mac using iCloud photos ? was photos were transferred through iPhone to Mac , if you turned off photo box in any device the photos will not get stored in iCloud .com
