Cloudflare, using its web analytics service and Cloudflare Radar, found that in 2021, users around the world were more likely to visit TikTok than Google. Moreover, in 2020, the TikTok website in the ranking of global traffic was only in seventh place in popularity among users, after Amazon, Netflix, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook and Google.
YouTube, Twitter and WhatsApp also remain in the top ten popular sites according to Cloudflare. Previously, there was Instagram, which became less popular in 2021.
TikTok's popularity peaked in global traffic rankings for the first time in mid-February 2021, according to Cloudflare. Then Google regained its first place for a couple of months and then changed from TikTok until August. Since September, TikTok practically did not give first place, users from all over the world visited this site most often.
The Wall Street Journal experts explained that TikTok has skyrocketed in popularity among users due to a special recommendation algorithm. The system of the social network of short videos offers a large number of users only those videos that they may like. Moreover, earlier this year, TikTok reported that the monthly number of platform users exceeds 1 billion people.
