The Most Popular Websites Around the World
Which website, aside from search engines like Google, do you visit the most? Now compare that to the findings from this study by Hostinger of the most visited website in every country around the world (that isn’t a search engine, of course). In addition to not including search engine results, the team at Hostinger also removed Facebook and YouTube from the analysis as they dominated the results. The hundreds of billions of hours people around the world spend on Google, YouTube, and Facebook far eclipse all other websites; and quite frankly would make the results of this study far more boring. To create the map, they analyzed online ranking data to determine which websites received the most visits in each country. Check out the world map below to see the full results of Hostinger’s analysis.

One website stands out above the rest as the most visited website in the most countries around the world. Wikipedia was found to be the most visited website in 43 of the countries that were analyzed, far more than second-place Twitter which is the most visited site in 10 countries. Amazon and Kooora tied for third as the most visited website in four countries, and Delfi and Reddit tied for fifth place with three countries apiece. For a closer look at the most popular website in each country, the original map has been broken down into five different regional maps on the original website. There you’ll also find world maps of the most visited news websites, food and beverage websites, banking websites, and fashion websites in every country around the world. How do the news, banking, fashion, and food websites that you frequently visit compare to that of your fellow countrymen?
