Before you dive into monthly website visitors, it might be helpful to understand the breakdown of website traffic. As of 2019, statistical data platform Statista outlined the distribution of website traffic worldwide by its source. The breakdown is as follows:

While these websites will display an impressive list of metrics, take this information with a grain of salt. Unless the information comes from the company, and even then, you can’t assume the data is infallible.
