Top Traffic Sites
Read the report: Cloudflare leads AWS serving the 1,000 busiest websites
The 100 highest-traffic websites, ranked by agreement across several public traffic and link lists, and the authoritative DNS provider of each site's domain and the CDN, WAF or cloud load balancer a visitor connects to first.
Top 100 fully scanned (2026-10-17). Updated weekly; the totals use each site's latest result.
CDN & Security Market Share, Top 100
Each site counts once; a site split across providers is split evenly (DNS: by nameserver count). Shares count the 99 of the top 100 sites that answered our last scan.
