ChatGPT hit the internet in November 2022 and became one of its most popular websites. It started to bounce back from its summer dip by September 2023, but didn’t beat its 2023 traffic numbers until May 2024. Since then, the platform has kept growing landing the spot as the 11th most visited website in the world. While it’s still behind giants like Google and YouTube, ChatGPT now ranks higher than Amazon’s U.S. site cementing its place among the web’s top destinations.
In September 2024, ChatGPT reached a new high point by beating Microsoft’s Bing in U.S. traffic for the first time. It racked up 442.9 million visits in the U.S. topping Bing’s 404.3 million, which showed its growing pull in the AI world. Globally, ChatGPT’s rise has been even more pronounced, aided by a series of product enhancements introduced alongside its switch to the chatgpt.com domain.
Mobile app adoption has also played a key role in ChatGPT’s growth. Although the app launched later, its increasing capabilities, including voice and image recognition, have made it essential for users. The app’s user base continues to expand, particularly in markets like the UK, where ChatGPT outpaces competitors in mobile usage.
Even with this success, ChatGPT doesn’t pose a threat to search giants like Google yet. It has gained devoted users after offering more features for free. Still, it works on a different scale compared to the biggest mass-market platforms. Yet, its ongoing growth shows a lasting appeal that keeps going strong.
