I've loaded in Alexa, Majestic, Cisco DNS, and Tranco rankings into this site:
https://domain.glass/ycombinator.com#dns_rank https://domain.glass/ycombinator.com#dns_rank
Not the prettiest, but I use it a fair amount myself for researching domains.
- kingcharles 5y agoDamn, with that data TikTok.com is ranked #1 O_O
- JohnJamesRambo 5y agoThe world suddenly makes sense doesn’t it?
- GekkePrutser 5y agoNo a world where TikTok is the #1 website makes no sense at all. Though I suppose it's the sewer of the internet so it has to be everywhere.
- FpUser 5y agoI've never looked at TikTok but I look every once in a while to a user comment section of some pretty reputable world / local news sites. This alone leaves the impression that the world populace is but a bunch of dumb indoctrinated rabid racists and haters.
- kingcharles 5y agoI would probably have made the same off-the-cuff comment before I signed up. You can make the same comment about YouTube or Twitter, but it all depends on what content you ingest. TikTok's algorithm actually serves me incredible content that is both educational and entertaining and I thoroughly enjoy using the app. (And I don't consider myself some sort of floozy - I've been using the Net since before the first commercial web sites appeared)
- 0xcoffee 5y agoAlso interesting doubleverify.com is ranked 14th, the first I did not hear of. Quickly looked them up, some sort of anti-fraud company, working with TikTok apparently. There website doesn't load for me, I'm wondering if they are target of DDOS attack which might actually move them up the rankings haha
- togilvie 5y agoIt's an ad tracker. It's loading in ads that people see, but isn't the source website generating the traffic.
- cosmojg 5y agoAh, that makes sense. I take it that its name is a play on "DoubleClick"?
- mgerdts 5y agoI've notice some non-native English speakers use "double verify" where native speakers would use "double check" or "verify". It could be a play on that. Or they had a meeting where the founders asked "what domain sounds twice as good as verify.com?"
- hazza_n_dazza 5y agothats a superplusgood question
- lxchase 5y agoDoubleVerify is an adfraud and brand safety tracker. Basically, they ensure that your ads are displayed to people and not on questionable content if you dont want to. Most agencies and large direct advertisers add this 3rd party to ensure actual humans are seeing the ads, and thus the advertiser is paying for “good” eyeballs instead of “bad”. It’s essentially a 3rd party checking that the ad network doesn’t do anything naughty, which some sites have done in the past.
- Sohcahtoa82 5y agoTikTok is big in the Western world, but it's even bigger in China.
- Thorrez 5y agoBut isn't it douyin.com in China? I would think that would be separate in the rankings since the rankings are based on domain.
- fragmede 5y agoTIL about https://bookface.ycombinator.com/ https://bookface.ycombinator.com/
- jeofken 5y agoI’m perplexed about “ whoredom.groups.ycombinator.com” ? From grandparents link
- TigeriusKirk 5y agoIs "groups" the private messageboard for yc participants?
- pja 5y agogroups.ycombinator.com redirects to Google groups.
- radlad 5y agoThe traffic seems to come entirely from Umbrella DNS requests? https://domain.glass/whoredom.groups.ycombinator.com https://domain.glass/whoredom.groups.ycombinator.com
- eatonphil 5y agoNeat! How often do you update this?
- bentcorner 5y agoapple.com being so high is (to me) a little counter-intuitive. microsoft.com too for the same reason. They don't seem like the sites people would be using a lot in their day-to-day lives. I guess it's counting dns lookups from devices and not necessarily "human" web page/app requests?
- CSSer 5y agoIt's been forever since I've seen this first hand, but iirc apple.com and microsoft.com are both default homepages in Safari on macOS and Edge on Windows, respectively. That may artificially inflate the numbers a bit too.
- deleted 5y ago[deleted]
- Closi 5y agoThat’s a good point. Both companies also offer single sign on services too so again maybe that could keep redirecting users back to their sites.
- greggsy 5y agoIf you’ve worked on or around an enterprise gateway team, you’ll learn pretty quickly that 1) Microsoft, Akamai, Cloudfront and Apple traffic appear to represent 95% of traffic in a given organisation, and 2) providing meaningful reports on internet usage for executives is *hard*
- randomswede 5y agoSomewhat over two decades ago, the #1 site in the web cache stats for the web cache between an ISP dialup pool and the internet at large was "icons.hotmail.com" (may have been a number on "icons", actually). With probably 2-3 x the hits than the first porn site.
- dylan604 5y agohow many iDevices and their apps/services ping back home via a *.apple.com domain? In other words, is it possible that the traffic isn't from people visiting the website in a browser?
- dotancohen 5y agoThis is a terrific tool, thank you. Bookmarking for reference.
