The trending/popular domains list is interesting [0]. Since Cloudflare effectively serves as part of the backbone for so many sites and services, I'm assuming their ranking is more able to count usage of sites that are mostly accessed by smartphone app, e.g. Tiktok #3, Facebook #4. Unlike Comscore [1], which seems to overly represent media sites.

Too bad Radar omits pornography sites, I was curious whether they'd actually be among the top sites. FWIW, SimilarWeb [2] (which has Tiktok at #46), does include porn sites (xvideos and pornhub are #8 and #9, respectively).

Though I don't quite understand how mozilla.org could rank as #10 on Radar's sites, just below Instagram and above Youtube, Whatsapp, and Twitter.

edit: It's also interesting to compare its Top Browser rankings with analytics.usa.gov [3]. It appears that Radar's measured users are significantly more on Chrome – 55% (desktop+mobile) vs 47.6% on usa.gov sites; whereas usa.gov users are significantly more on Safari (iOS+desktop): 35.2% vs 13% on Radar. I suppose this reflects the assumption that iOS has a bigger proportion of U.S. users than it does worldwide users.

There's a lot of data here to digest, but one thing that stood out to me is:

> Bot traffic: 41% of total

So of all the traffic that CF sees, it attributes 41% of it to automated bots. This is way higher than I would have guessed!

Wow, tiktok.com steadily ranking at #3, more popular than facebook.com, amazon.com, apple.com and netflix.com, only behind google.com and microsoft.com. Really curious to see detailed stats.

Not sure if I am reading it wrong, but I'm not sure the data is correct (at least for some non Cloudflare sites) example:

https://radar.cloudflare.com/domain/just-eat.co.uk

The leading UK food delivery company, for popularity I'm not sure if a higher or lower number means more popular - but to me it looks like the site has more traffic on a weekday than a weekend. And also most traffic comes from Australia, where this site wouldn't even work.

Is this just bots, or bad data?

Really weird results, I have a popular site on Cloudflare and the domain popularity by visitor country shown on this public dashboard doesn't match traffic statistics I see in my account at all.

This is a direct replacement for Alexa Ranking. IMHO the traffic is way more accurate.

How much internet traffic goes through Cloudflare?

Last I heard it was somewhere around 5%. Does anyone know what % it is today?

More surprising for me is Mobile vs Desktop at 35% to 65%. I thought it was closer, or more like 50/50.

How is this data collected? I can see how they would be able to get statistics from clients hitting CloudFlare servers, but how can they report on the traffic hitting google.com or microsoft.com?

Any idea why the "worldwide change in internet traffic" graph is not flatter and has daily dips ? Is this graph normalized on the actual time, disregarding time-zones?

It would be great if the site rankings had a longer time period than 30 days, such as 1 year. Though totally understand if they only started tracking such a ranking recently.

What is the source of the data?

Is the ranking of domains by number of requests or by traffic volume? Why don't we see any major CDN domains in the top ten list?

Anyone know why there appears to be a steady daily +-5% wave on the HTTP/1.x vs HTTP/2 chart?

Does anyone else find it odd Zoom not in top 15? Is it only because it's not webtraffic?

Developers: The page must be fast! Google found an extra .5 seconds in search page generation time dropped traffic by 20%. Also developers: Let's use Cloudflare - 'Checking your browser before accessing content - please allow up to 5 seconds'.
