Figures from the archive
Every day this archive records what the most-visited EU websites declare to machines. Once a month it counts what that adds up to. The figures describe; they do not rate anyone.
What is counted. Domains from the Tranco list of the one million most-visited websites worldwide that belong to the EU in one of three ways: they end in .eu or in the country code of one of the 27 EU member states (.de, .fr, .es and the others); they end in a regional ending of the EU (.cat, .berlin, .paris and others); or they end in .com, .org or another generic ending and Wikidata gives their website to an organisation in the EU and to none outside it. These are the most visited sites, not all registered domains of a country. The seat is what Wikidata records, not what this archive asserts.
