What is a Website and How Many Are There Today?

A website can be accessed through a web browser (Chrome, Firefox, et al) by entering the website URL address, or by searching for it in a search engine (Google, Bing, etc.) on a laptop or cellphone. While technically, a website is a collection of interconnected pages on the internet. The pages on the website are also known as web pages (web pages) that contain information or services provided by an organization or business.

Number of websites in the world According to data from the Internet Live Stats website, there are more than 1.89 billion websites on the internet today. The achievement of 1 billion websites was first achieved in September 2014. Or it took about 24 years since the web first appeared in human life. The world’s first website was born in December 1990, with the URL info.cern.ch. The site was created by Tim Berners-Lee, who is none other than the creator of the World Wide Web (WWW) or the Web for short as we know it today.

The first post on the world’s first website is dedicated to explaining the World Wide Web project. Visitors can learn more about hypertext, the technical details for creating their own web pages, and even explanations about how to find information on the Web. To this day, the world’s first site can still be visited at the following link. Until 1991, info.cern.ch was the only website in the world. Furthermore, at the end of 1992, the number of online websites increased to 10. Then since Tim released the source code of the WWW to the public in 1993, the internet and the website on it have gradually grown rapidly, until they are today. In 1994, the increase in the number of websites on the internet skyrocketed to 2,006 percent, with the number of almost 3,000 websites. One of the websites that was born in 1994 was Yahoo, which was originally called “Jerry and David’s Guide to the World Wide Web”.
Then, when the Google search engine was born in 1998, when it was recorded that there were already about 2.4 million websites on the internet. However, according to a recent report from a web server survey site, NetCraft, the number of websites that reached 1.89 billion were not all active. According to NetCraft data, there are only around 201 million sites that are actively monitored as of August 2021.
