This is a detailed list of the most visited websites globally.

\n

All traffic data comes from August 2025 estimates from Semrush. Please be aware that we also removed explicit websites from our rankings.

\n

What Is The #1 Most Visited Website?

\n

As of August, the most visited website in the world is Google. The next most popular websites are YouTube, Facebook, Wikipedia, and Instagram.

\n

It's worth noting that the total number of website visits differs from the number of unique visitors. In a world with over 8 billion people, 101.35 billion monthly visits can be recorded because certain people visit the site multiple times daily.

\n

The only other site that comes close to Google in total visits worldwide is YouTube, at 47.12 billion. Notably, both websites are owned and operated by Alphabet Inc., highlighting their dominance in the space.
