Understanding Traffic Rankings
Traffic rankings provide a way to measure website popularity based on estimated internet traffic. The ranking system is inverse - the lower the ranking number, the higher the website's traffic. For example:



Rank 1 indicates the highest-traffic website

Rank 1,000,000 indicates a lower-traffic website




By default, your reports use the Tranco ranking system, which:



Provides rankings from 1 to 1,000,000

Can be exported with your report data

Offers a standardized way to measure website popularity




How to Filter by Traffic

You can use these rankings to filter your reports and focus on websites within specific traffic thresholds. This allows you to:



Identify high-traffic websites in your dataset

Compare websites with similar traffic levels

Analyze trends across different traffic tiers



The Tranco ranking serves as a reliable indicator of a website's relative popularity and can help you make data-driven decisions based on traffic patterns.



In addition to our standard traffic metrics, we provide rankings from two external data sources:

CRUX (Chrome User Experience Report): Rankings derived from actual Google Chrome usage data, providing insights into real-world site performance and popularity.

Cloudflare Radar: Rankings based on aggregated network data from Cloudflare's global infrastructure, offering a broad view of website traffic patterns.

To access these alternative ranking sources:

1. Navigate to the Traffic tab

2. Find the ranking options in the sidebar

3. Select either CRUX or Cloudflare Radar

4. Create a filtered report based on your selected ranking source

This feature allows you to analyze larger traffic datasets by incorporating sites that meet these alternative ranking criteria. You can use these different ranking sources to gain a more comprehensive understanding of website traffic patterns and performance.
