What Is a Website Ranking?
A website ranking indicates how popular a website is compared to all other websites on the internet. Think of it as a popularity contest — the lower the number, the more popular the site. For example, google.com is typically ranked #1 globally.
How Is This Different from Alexa Rank?
Alexa Rank was retired in May 2022. SiteWorthIt rankings use aggregated DNS traffic data covering over 20% of all internet traffic to provide the modern replacement.
Understanding Popularity Buckets
The "bucket" tells you which popularity tier a domain falls into (e.g., Top 200, Top 1,000, Top 10,000). Even when an exact rank position isn't available, the bucket gives meaningful context about a site's relative popularity.
