Most visited websites in Canada – 2019

Every day, a huge number of Canadian people visit thousands of websites. Every day new brands and companies appear on the Internet that appeal to Internet users and that’s why website development services in Canada are so popular to this day and why platforms like Wix are becoming major players. Each country has its favorites – sites that are visited more often than others. 2020 is right around the corner so we figured it would be interesting to have a quick look at what were the most popular websites in Canada this year. We analyzed the data from Similar Web‘s database to create these charts for you.

To get to the 100th place in this ranking, your site will need hundreds of millions  of visits per month! The ranking shows how people all over Canada look for information, what services they use and how they spend time on the Internet.

But please keep in mind that this is the rating of the most visited websites in Canada, the data doesn’t show any information on app traffic. Brands that extend to different platforms or serve the majority of their users through the application will not necessarily occupy a high place in this list. As a result, you will notice the absence of companies like Snapchat and social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram don’t look as big as they actually are.

Search engines provide the connection between websites on the Internet, and that’s why they make up the majority of website traffic in the top 100 rankings. As we can see, Google is absolutely dominating the top positions. That there are separate positions for google.com and google.ca and Google also owns the most popular video hosting platform YouTube. So if you do the math – Google’s share is 26.6% of all Canadian traffic, let that sink in.

So without further ado, here is a complete list of Top 100 most visited websites in Canada:

Interesting that classic web portals, such as MSN and Yahoo, still show an impressive amount of traffic (while most people considered them dead for a while).

Now get ready for some shocking info – here is a comparison of traffic share between the TOP 100 websites vs. the rest of the websites on the internet.

And to wrap this up, let’s have a brief look at TOP 10 search leaders. This table also shows the changes in November, 2019 as well an actual amount of monthly visits, average duration of stay and bounce rate. What’s interesting is that most websites have a bounce rate around 30%, but Wikipedia, Reddit and Stack Overflow are at crazy ~50%. That’s because these websites are ranking very high for a lot of popular questions and visitors leave them as soon as they get that answer.
