The Web changes constantly. What is popular today may end up buried in digital oblivion tomorrow, but there are many pages out there that essentially function as "pillars" and receive daily attention from millions of users around the world. The folks at Hostinger decided to publish a report with the most visited sites, applying some logical exceptions like search engines, Facebook, and streaming services. Would you like to know more…?
Google as a search engine, YouTube and Spotify in streaming, TikTok and Instagram with their shared photos and videos… certain things seem immovable. However, it is only a matter of time before something else (and not necessarily better) replaces them. All platforms try to anticipate and resist such changes, but at the end of the day, the user decides.
That is why it is so difficult to talk about the most popular websites in the world. The best we can do is point to a very well-defined current period, and that is exactly what the folks at Hostinger did with their recent report. The most interesting part? The infographic ignores the giants: The combination of Google, YouTube, and Facebook sweeps everything else, and the same happens when adding adult entertainment or betting services. By filtering that data, the results are much more striking…
The most visited websites in each region
- Wikipedia.org is the most visited site in 43 countries, beating other portals with some comfort.
- In the United States, the number one is Amazon (more than 2.6 billion annual visits), but that is not repeated in Europe or the rest of the Americas.
- The sports portal Marca.com is the most visited in Spain.
- Although Facebook was removed from the results, there is room for social networks. Twitter in Mexico, Reddit in Canada, and Vk.com in Russia are three cases.
- E-commerce has other notable examples besides Amazon, such as MercadoLibre in Argentina and Shopee in Thailand.
The rest of the maps reveal some fascinating details. For example, Blogspot seems to be very popular in Bolivia, Soundcloud emerges as number one in Angola, and the film industry in Liberia exploded after the Ebola epidemic, reflected by its access to IMDB. Finally, the report includes data on home banking, fashion, news platforms, and cooking that are definitely worth exploring. Link below!
