YOUTUBE IS THE SITE USERS SPEND MOST TIME ON, DATA SHOWS

Sun 07 August 2022:

YouTube is a social networking site where users spend the majority of their time. According to Anadolu Agency data.

On the 31st anniversary of the internet’s first website, Google was discovered to be the most-visited website, with 47.8 billion visits, according to the US-based search engine marketing company Semrush.

This was not always the case in the almost three decades since the first-ever website, created by British scientist Tim Berners-Lee and including information about the World Wide Web project, went public on Aug. 6, 1991.

The website started functioning on Dec. 20, 1990. But at the time, it was only accessible from the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN).

In 2001, the most popular websites were MSN, Yahoo, and eBay, though the first two would lose their spots to Yahoo and Google by 2007.

Other popular websites at that time, such as Myspace and AOL, have disappeared over time.

Google, Facebook, and YouTube were ranked as the most popular websites in 2012.

There are currently around 2 billion websites. After Google, YouTube tops the list in popularity with 46.8 billion visits, followed by Facebook with 10.6 billion, Wikipedia with 5.8 billion, and Twitter with 4.8 billion.

However, according to online traffic tracker Similarweb, YouTube is the website where people spend the most time – almost 22 minutes every visit. Google is followed by Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram.

As of April 2022, there were 5 billion active internet users, representing more than 60% of the global population, according to Statista data. 93 percent of those are also on social media.
