Methodology

Statcounter counts page views on the more than one million websites that run its tracking code, and records the kind of device each view came from: desktop, mobile phone, tablet or games console. A device's share is its part of all page views in the month.

These figures cover web pages only. Traffic from apps, video streaming and other services that do not load a tracked web page is not counted, so they measure the share of web browsing, not of all internet traffic.

Statcounter applies no weighting by country, so countries with more tracked websites count for more in the worldwide figure. Statcounter rounds each share to two decimals.

Statcounter publishes these figures under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 licence. This page and its CSVs are shared under CC BY-SA 4.0.
