Looking back, what was the state of the web in 2024? The Web Almanac combines the raw stats and trends of the HTTP Archive with the expertise of the web community. The results are backed up by accurate data taken from 86 people who have volunteered countless hours in the planning, research, writing, and production phases.
With 16.9M websites tested, the 2024 edition is comprised of 19 chapters spanning aspects of page content, UX, publishing, and distribution. An insightful look into the state of performance is included, too. A massive Thank You to all of the contributors for their time and dedication!
