Would be good to have a secondary source that back up Clouldflare's research. Weirdly Statista didn't even have TikTok in the top 20 most popular domain names this summer. Have I confused websites and domain names or something? https://www.statista.com/statistics/1201880/most-visited-websites-worldwide/ in June 2021 when it looked like this :

1. Google.com
2. YouTube.com
3. Facebook.com
4. Wikipedia.org
5. Yahoo.co.jp
6. Amazon.com
7. Instagram.com
8. Xvideos.com
9. Twitter.com
10. Pornhub.com
11. Yahoo.com
12. Yandex.ru
13. Xnxx.com
14. Reddit.com
15. Naver.com
16. Live.com
17. VK.com
18. Fandom.com
19. WhatsApp
20. Globo.com

I still feel like Google would be #1, seems like there needs to be other stats from other places

I agree with you. What are the most trusted sources for the world's most popular domain names aside from Cloudflare and Statista?

most popular
≠
most valuable

Neither tiktok.com nor one of the other domain names in this list is the most valuable domain name, just saying (writing) for the record (in case someone think (say (write)) so).

Most popular domain name in the world = highest volume of global traffic. According to Cloudflare that TikTok has the highest volume of global traffic in 2021. I'm sceptical about that claim that TikTok is the most popular domain name in the world by traffic (surely it's Google) but Cloudflare isn't a company I have a reason to distrust as yet.

 

[Kris88]

if its based on traffic yeah it was the most valuable, but if you had the choose to buy tiktok.com or Google.com cheap which one would you buy, id be going Google

 

[DOMAIN ILLUMINATI]

if its based on traffic yeah it was the most valuable, (...)

And if it is based (+ measured) on a certain keyword (+ the included quantity of it), then it is a totally different one (not in this list).

Is there a Cloudlflare rep on the forum who can clear this up?

Inc says https://www.inc.com/jason-aten/tikt...r-rein-as-worlds-most-popular-web-domain.html " According to a report released on Monday by Cloudflare, one of the major internet content delivery networks, TikTok.com overtook Google as the most visited domain in the world in 2021. On the one hand, considering how relatively new TikTok is in our collective consciousness, that's surprising. On the other hand, when you remember TikTok is the fastest-growing social network ever, it shouldn't be. It was even the most-downloaded app in 2020 and now has more than 1 billion users. "

Does the data based user who use cloudflare dns 1.1.1.1 / 1.0.0.1 or its apply for globally ?

Its important as alternative to calculate website rank worldwide, cause alexa ranking will shutdown on may 2022
