Hey People,

Im not really sure which heading this question comes under so im putting it here!

Basically i just wondered if anyone knows a website that has some great facts about how the web has evolved so to speak over the last say 10 years?

e.g how many websites there were then compared to now........percentage of business's using the web now compared with say 5 years ago. This sort of thing.

Thanks alot

Nice question from . For a reliable, comparable picture of "how the web has evolved" it helps to pick specific metrics (number of websites/hostnames, internet users, broadband/mobile penetration, and business e-commerce adoption) and consult time‑series datasets from authoritative sources rather than single summary pages. Good places to pull those series are:

A short, practical workflow: choose the metric and years; pull raw tables or CSVs from the primary source; standardize definitions (e.g., "active site" vs "hostnames", "has a website" vs "sells online"); plot per‑capita or per‑enterprise rates and regional splits; and always read the dataset methodology notes. Common pitfalls: domain/host counts are inflated by parked or automated subdomains, and "business online" can mean anything from a brochure site to full e‑commerce. 's link is a useful quick list and 's video captures the era culturally, but the sources above give verifiable time‑series for rigorous comparison.
