33 Most Visited Websites in the World (2025)

Which websites do you visit most regularly? My top five are Gmail.com, Google.com, Amazon.com, X.com, and ChatGPT.com.

Now, the other day I was wondering which are the most visited websites in the world. If you’re like me and have ever wondered what the world’s most popular sites are, I’ve got you covered.

And let me tell you, you may have never heard of some of the sites on my list!

If you’ve ever browsed the internet, you know which is the most visited website in the world: Google.com. My granny doesn’t have a smartphone, but I’m sure she knows this too! Number two and three?

Let’s find out:^1,2

There you go! Read on for a more detailed overview of each website.

Please don’t tell me you think Google is now “irrelevant” because of the emergence of AI models like ChatGPT. Can you imagine how difficult it would be to train these models without Google’s database? Nearly impossible!

Google is — and most likely will always be — the most visited website in the world, registering approximately 92.7 billion visits each month.¹

And oh, according to some sources, YouTube might appear to be the most visited website in the world. Why? It has more organic search traffic per month (1.6 billion visits) than Google (1.5 billion visits).³

The reality is, why would someone “search” for Google on a search engine? Case solved.

Here’s a bonus fact: 73.11% of people visit Google through their smartphone.⁴

I almost always start my day by watching football transfer updates on YouTube, the world’s leading video-sharing and streaming website. Even if you’re on Instagram or TikTok, you probably watch all types of videos on YouTube, including commentary, product reviews, tutorials, best-of lists, and comedy.

Which YouTube creators are you subscribed to? Rio Ferdinand, Fabrizio Romano, Sky Sports Premier League, and Dave Chappelle are at the top of my list at the time of writing.

I guess I heavily contribute to the ~42.82 billion visits it receives each month.¹

Here’s a fun website traffic statistic: around 15.12% of YouTube’s traffic originates from South Korea.⁵

I had a Facebook account when I was in school, and while many people still use it (it has about 9.14 billion monthly visits, after all), I feel it’s outdated.¹

It’s only a matter of time before Instagram surpasses it as the most prominent social networking platform. Do you know which country uses Facebook the most? Yep, the United States (2.11 billion visits).⁶

Speaking of Instagram, are you aware of the most-followed celebrity on the platform? Cristiano Ronaldo — he has more than 655 million followers.⁷

That’s a lot of zeroes. And he earns around $3.2 million per sponsored post.⁸

There’s a reason why brands pay so much to top Instagram influencers — Instagram receives approximately 5.38 billion visits per month, and most of them (60%) are from people between 18 and 34 years old.^1,9

We’re in the influencer marketing era — the market is worth about $32.55 billion.¹⁰

I hardly use Wikipedia anymore — I don’t think its information is 100% accurate. I mean, anyone can edit it — how can you guarantee factual consistency?

If you think I’m being overly harsh, just Google “Worst mistakes on Wikipedia.” Yep, that really happened.

While many people (especially students) visit it regularly (approximately 4.55 billion times every month), which might include you, you shouldn’t trust it blindly.¹ You can use it as a reliable general reference.

What’s the difference between ChatGPT and your best friend? Your best friend leaves you on read — ChatGPT actually reads what you say and always replies.

Did you laugh? Well, I found it funny.

Anyway, while ChatGPT isn’t physically alive, it can be your best friend if you learn how to leverage it to the fullest.

Since it receives about 4.46 billion monthly visits, I wonder if the people using it know its ins and outs.¹ Probably not.

If you want to know just how dominant Google is as a search engine tool, here goes: it has approximately 89.54% of the market share. Microsoft Bing? Just 4%.¹¹

It’s still visited about 4.19 billion times each month.¹ I honestly don’t feel there’s much of a difference between them — Google has just been around for longer (11 years).

In fact, I can confidently say Bing has a better image search system and AI assistant (Gemini is bleh). Also, have you heard of Bing Rewards? Boy, are you missing out!

Pornhub is the most popular adult entertainment website, racking up approximately 4.14 billion monthly visits.¹

This is the right time for me to bring up website bounce rates. Take a look at the last column of the table I prepared for you, and you’ll see Pornhub.com has a bounce rate of just 26.57% — which is the same as Google.com.²

What does this mean? Only 26.57% of people “bounce” to another website after viewing just one webpage on Pornhub.

You might know that in early January, restrictions on pornographic websites came into effect in the USA (in 17 states, at least).¹² And here I thought this incident would lead to a dip in views!

Reddit is an American social news and discussion website with around 4.02 billion monthly visits.¹

If you know what you’re looking for, Reddit is a great place to find like-minded people on just about any topic — from literature, memes, pop culture, and music to everything in between.

Here are some subreddits you should check out:

• r/AskReddit: Thought-provoking questions
• r/NoStupidQuestions: Judgment-free answers
• r/CasualConversation: Chill, light chat
• r/me_irl: Relatable memes
• r/TrueCrime: Real crime stories
• r/technology: Tech news/discussions
• r/gadgets: Latest cool devices
• r/MachineLearning: AI & ML
• r/InternetIsBeautiful: Useful websites
• r/DIY: Creative builds
• r/DesignPorn: Aesthetic design work
• r/WholesomeMemes: Feel-good humor

These subreddits are well-run by their mods, so you don’t have to worry about coming across content that’ll make you think, “What did I just see?”

X, colloquially known as Twitter, is another popular social media site, with nearly 3.4 billion visits per month.¹

Twitter was founded in 2006, but in 2023, owner Elon Musk rebranded to X, intending to become an app that can serve several purposes (or, as Elon put it, “X, the everything app”).

You can actually term it a news website as well — just click on the search icon and scroll through trending topics, the latest news, sports updates, entertainment gossip, and much more.

If you aren’t on Twitter… er… X yet, it’s high time you joined the 415 million people on the platform.¹³

WhatsApp is an end-to-end encrypted instant messaging platform — it’s the only platform I use to chat with friends and family. But I’ve never used the web version.

I guess people working in offices where smartphones are off-limits swear by WhatsApp Web. I should probably try it — it has more than 2.69 billion monthly visits, after all.¹

WhatsApp is the most popular instant messaging service in the world and is safer than you might think — that’s why more than two billion users worldwide trust it.¹⁴

Also, if you run a business and have collected the phone numbers of your customers, try WhatsApp Business — it’s a great way to connect with them.

XVideos is the second adult entertainment website on my list of most visited websites in the world, and much like Pornhub, it has billions (about 2.67 billion) of monthly views and a low bounce rate (24.13%).

XVideos.com is owned by WGCZ Holding and was founded in 2007. It currently ranks as one of the most-visited adult entertainment websites in the world.

Want to guess how many people visit the website through their smartphones? Approximately 91.16%.^1,2

Amazon is the world’s most popular eCommerce marketplace, with around 2.6 billion monthly visits — what would I do without it?¹

I’m an Amazon Prime user and spend at least 30 minutes on the platform daily. I mean, I buy almost everything online (quite literally). Just yesterday, I bought a pair of sunglasses when I already have four of them!

And hey, I’m not the only one — in the first quarter of 2025 alone, Amazon made approximately $156 billion in net sales revenue. To think Amazon was just an online bookshop in 1995!¹⁵

Ah, the good old Yahoo days. My first email address was a Yahoo Mail account — surajdeepthegladiator@yahoo.com. I get it, feel free to laugh at me (I was just eight at the time!).

Did you know Yahoo’s search engine was once more popular than Google’s? Yahoo has been around for nearly 30 years, and while its numbers have dwindled over the past decade, it still gets nearly 2.46 billion visits each month.¹

In fact, if I pull the stats, Yahoo was the most visited finance-related website in 2024. PayPal was miles behind it.¹⁶ When did you last visit Yahoo.com?

Japan’s version of Yahoo earns just over two billion visits every month.¹ Let’s try to understand the popularity of Yahoo Japan.

For starters, it’s a joint venture between Yahoo! Inc. and SoftBank and was launched as early as 1996. Not only does Yahoo.co.jp deliver localized content, but it also provides the all-in-one convenience of several services (like email and finance).

You’ve got to admit, DuckDuckGo is a quirky website name. Anyway, when you visit DuckDuckGo.com, the first thing you’ll see is: “Switch to DuckDuckGo. It’s private and free!”

If you feel someone’s “watching” your online activity, it might be time to switch from Google, Bing, or Yahoo to DuckDuckGo.

Why? Because DuckDuckGo is a search engine that protects your online privacy. It’s constantly praised for its privacy and security features, and it also offers email and app tracking protection. What more do you need?

What’s actually surprising is that DuckDuckGo brings in just around 1.95 billion monthly visits.¹

At this point, the only way you’ve never heard of TikTok is if you’ve been living under a proverbial social media rock.

Here’s a humble brag: I’ve never used it. I mean, I can watch Khaby Lame’s gimmicks on YouTube, so why download yet another app that encourages binge-watching?

TikTok has an average of 1.89 billion monthly visits and, in my opinion, is only worth your time if you plan on uploading content to it.¹ Dance videos, lip-syncing, comedy skits, and do-it-yourself (DIY) tutorials — got those skills? Download it now.

Yandex.ru is another website I didn’t know existed until yesterday — it’s Russia’s most popular search engine, with a market share of approximately 74% and around 1.86 billion monthly visits.^1,17

Technically, it’s Dzen.ru now — the rebranding took place in 2024, for reasons anyone who follows world news can figure out. Anyway, if you type “yandex.ru” in your web browser, it’ll automatically redirect to Dzen.ru.

Yandex… er… Dzen offers a variety of internet-related products, including web portals, online advertising, eCommerce, and cloud computing.

If you’re an American, you probably downloaded the Temu app on your iPhone or Android smartphone in 2024 — it was the most downloaded eCommerce app that year, with more than 86 million downloads.¹⁸

No wonder approximately 1.81 billion people visit the website each month!¹ But what’s the reason for its sudden popularity?

Let’s just say the Temu marketing team is extremely aggressive and, most importantly, it offers super cheap products. So, if you’re looking to revamp your wardrobe on a limited budget, you can buy products straight from Chinese sellers without so much as stepping outside your house.

However, it has the highest website bounce rate (62.57%) of all the websites in my lineup.²

Try opening MicrosoftOnline.com in your web browser. It doesn’t work, right? Does that mean the website is suspicious? No. If it were, that would be quite the trick — it gets about 1.39 billion visits each month!¹

Microsoft Online is a legitimate Microsoft domain used for backend authentication. You may see it in URLs like “login.microsoftonline.com,” for example.

One Microsoft-backed website after the other, eh? Well, Microsoft.com is the official website of the tech goliath.

It’s basically a one-stop destination for everything related to Microsoft Corporation. I wonder how many of its 1.37 billion monthly visits are for news related to upcoming products and the latest security patches and updates!¹

Live.com is yet another website that belongs to Microsoft. If you go to the website, you’ll typically land on Microsoft’s Outlook webmail login page.

Once you sign in, you can visit any Microsoft 365 app, including Outlook, OneDrive, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.

Live.com (Outlook.com) is visited approximately 1.36 billion times monthly and has more than 400 million active users.^1,19

I’ve found a few jobs through LinkedIn, so I have nothing but praise for the platform. If you aren’t a LinkedIn user, let’s just say it’s the Instagram equivalent for working professionals.

If you want to network with professionals virtually, you should join the platform — it’s visited approximately 1.36 billion times per month and has around 1.15 billion active users.^1,20

Can you tell whether it’ll rain in your city anytime this week? Just visit Weather.com!

I can attest to the fact that Weather.com is the most accurate daily weather forecaster — around 1.30 billion monthly visits tell a tale.¹

If you have any allergies, this website is a must-check before you head outdoors — take a look at the Health & Activities category.

If you know anything about football, you might think MSN.com is a tribute to the legendary Barca trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Neymar Jr. But it’s not.

It’s (yet another) Microsoft service that draws about 1.29 billion visits every month and features just about all types of content — the latest headlines, weather forecasts, live sports scores — you name it.¹

Do you remember the Blockbuster days? Netflix single-handedly took down Blockbuster — Blockbuster officially filed for bankruptcy in 2010.

And you know the funny part? In 2000, Blockbuster could have bought Netflix for just $50 million.²¹ Now? Netflix is worth more than $500 billion.²²

I’m actually surprised that Netflix is visited “only” 1.26 billion times per month.¹

I’m going to keep this website traffic statistic short. Try visiting Twitter from a browser on your smartphone. What happens? You’re redirected to X.

So, about 1.25 billion times every month, people visit X.com through Twitter.com. Technically, this means X.com is visited approximately 4.64 billion times per month, right?¹

OpenAI is the company behind ChatGPT and Sora (an AI video generator). But why should you visit the website? I mean, you can visit ChatGPT.com and Sora.com (which redirects to sora.chatgpt.com) directly, right?

If you want to build an AI product, OpenAI offers numerous API modules you can take advantage of.

You can learn about and purchase them through OpenAI’s official website.

Apart from having the strangest name for an adult entertainment website, xHamster has pretty much got everything right. Its bounce rate is decent (26.78%), it averages around 7.76 pages per visit, and receives excellent traffic (about 1.15 billion visits per month).^1,2

So why isn’t it as popular as Pornhub? The occasional ads and annoying pop-ups are a real turn-off, apparently — I read user reviews.

You can consider Naver to be the “Google of South Korea,” and I’m not joking — around 63% of Koreans use Naver, while only 31% of them prefer Google. This explains the 1.11 billion monthly visits.¹

This got me thinking: “Why doesn’t India have a local search engine?” I can totally see “BharatSearch” making waves.

I’ve never used Pinterest. I dated an artist a few years ago, and she treated her Pinterest like a digital mood board.

She had boards for home renovation ideas, travel inspiration, fashion and style, and social media aesthetics.

So, while I appreciated her work, I knew it wasn’t my cup of tea — I suck at art. If there’s an artist in you, try Pinterest — around 520 million active users and approximately 1.11 billion visits per month paint a picture.^1,23

The last adult entertainment website on my list, XNXX.com brings in more than 1.11 billion webpage visits per month, featuring adult videos, stories, pictures, and forums.¹

And guess what? It has the lowest bounce rate of all the websites we’ve explored so far — 18.15%.²

Last but not least, I present Twitch. Who’s your favorite Twitch streamer? Please don’t say Pokimane — I’ll judge you. While I don’t have a Twitch account, I watch the occasional streaming clip on YouTube.

And I like iShowSpeed. I know that you’re judging me, but hear me out — he’s entertaining. Honestly, ~1.09 billion visits per month is kind of low for a streaming platform of the size of Twitch.¹

To generate this list of the most visited websites in the world, I compared the top-ranking websites on SimilarWeb and SEMrush in 2025 and arrived at a list of 33.

I complemented this data with additional data from numerous sources (which you can see below). Please note that his data is approximate and may change month to month.
