If Google, Facebook and YouTube have been the most visited monthly sites in the world for decades, what were the most viewed sites at the beginning of the world wide web era?

For years, AOL had dominated the world wide web. The history of AOL began in 1983 as a service for the Atari 2600 video game console. Over the years the services then increased until the real turning point between 1991 and 1992. It was in those years that the first AOL for DOS was launched on the market, and later AOL for Windows. One of AOL’s most famous and popular products has certainly been the Chat Room, which was made public in May 1997. Thanks to all these services, AOL was for many years the most visited site in the world followed by Yahoo and MSN.

Launched in August 1995, MSN – The Microsoft Network was a web portal that debuted as a service at the same time as the launch of Windows 95. Made by Microsoft, this allowed you to integrate a series of application services such as Windows Live Hotmail, Messenger and others. In 1996 the second version, MSN.2.0, was released. The site linked to it, msn.com, had a strong success in the following years. The new format in fact included free content and for years msn.com was the default start page of Internet Explorer.

Among the most growing sites in the world there are certainly “adult” sites. The first two to enter the top 10 of the most viewed sites in the world were PornHub and Xvideos.

But what are the most viewed adult sites in the world? In 2022 Xvideos is the one that gets the most views: in January, the visits were 3,320,000,000 across the globe. And it is a data that has been stable for a few months now: it was 3.4 billion in December 2021 and 3.2 billion in November of the same year. The average duration of the views is 10 minutes and 1 second. The nation where it is most viewed is the United States with 19.38% of the total, followed by Brazil with 7.98%.

In second position among the most viewed adult sites are xnxx, with 2.5 billion visits on January 2022, and in third place pornhub (in 13th position among the most viewed sites in the world). Total visits to this site totaled 2.3 billion worldwide, of which 24.16% came from the United States, 5.82% from Japan and 5.64% from Germany.
