On 13 September 2021, it was proposed that this article be moved from List of most popular websites to List of most visited websites. The result of the discussion was moved.

This entire list is suspect

As of September 2024, the current #49 "most-visited website" as listed by similarweb.com (and therefore this article) is lazlogistics.ph, a website whose homepage is a plaintext-only 404. If I were to guess, this is a enterprise-facing domain owned by Lazada used for logistical purposes like tracking packages, but WHOIS returns nothing. Notably, Lazada.com itself is not on this list.

Similarweb has been the primary source for this entire article. The data it publishes is obfuscated, does not use units, and their methodology is unknown. We do know, however, that they try to keep websites that users do not directly navigate to off their list, like youtu.be, t.co, and googleapis.com. This is a failure of that, and it's embarrassing that Similarweb did not even check if the website 404s before putting it on their top 50 list for 3 months now. It is unclear to me whether this company should be considered a reputable source at all. 207.181.229.29 (talk) 01:28, 27 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think the entire links are suspicious Darcyr0y (talk) 05:14, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

NPOs

Dear User:RedactedHumanoid, the commercialization of the Internet is truly remarkable, so I think we should highlight every NPO that can still make it under the first 50 websites, as long as there still is one. Best wishes,--Vergänglichkeit (talk) 12:31, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Huh what. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 16:20, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think you may have pinged the wrong user. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 16:20, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

No, you are the correct user, see your edit from October 26th 04:22.--Vergänglichkeit (talk) 17:54, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, ok. What about my edit did you wish to talk about? RedactedHumanoid (talk) 18:12, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wish for you to redo it, for the reason I gave above.--Vergänglichkeit (talk) 18:17, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'm a bit confused here. I don't exactly understand the reason you gave above. RedactedHumanoid (talk) 18:32, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not entirely clear on why this would improve the article. – OdinintheNorth (talk) 19:18, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The "Company/NPO" column for the Wikipedia entry in this table should probably link to Wikimedia (the Foundation) instead of having a duplicate link to Wikipedia (the project). Harroyos (talk) 18:49, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
