The BBC reached one billion website visits globally for the first time in 18 months in July, according to the latest Similarweb data. The British broadcaster saw visits increase by 11% year on year and 1% month on month. Contributing factors to this increase included the political landscape, such as Andy Burnham becoming prime minister, widespread heatwaves, and the World Cup.
The BBC was last above one billion global visits in January 2025, but this may have included some double counting of traffic due to visitors to bbc.com outside the US being redirected to bbc.co.uk. Similarweb subsequently changed its calculation method to add the global bbc.co.uk figure to the US bbc.com figure.
The BBC remains the most-visited news website in the world in any language. In July, 45 of the 50 largest English-language news sites saw audience growth compared to the previous month, with One India experiencing the largest increase in visits, up 179% to 124 million.
全球前50大英语新闻网站：BBC访问量突破十亿
根据最新的Similarweb数据，BBC在7月份全球访问量首次突破十亿，时隔18个月。这家英国广播公司年同比增长11%，月环比增长1%。增加的原因包括政治局势，例如安迪·伯纳姆成为首相、广泛的热浪以及世界杯。
BBC在2025年1月的全球访问量也曾超过十亿，但这可能因来自美国以外的访问者被重定向至bbc.co.uk而出现了双重计算。Similarweb随后更改了其计算方法，将全球的bbc.co.uk数据与美国的bbc.com数据相加。
BBC仍然是全球访问量最高的新闻网站，涵盖所有语言。在7月份，前50大英语新闻网站中有45个网站的受众较上月有所增长，其中One India的访问量增长最大，增长了179%，达到了1.24亿。
