Share of Web Traffic by Device Type

About This Dataset

Share of Web Traffic by Device Type
This chart shows the worldwide share of web page traffic generated by each device type, mobile phones, desktop/laptop computers and tablets, as measured by StatCounter for June 2026.
✨ AI Insight

Mobile phones now account for a small majority of global web traffic at about 51.5 percent, narrowly ahead of desktop and laptop computers at 47.1 percent, while tablets have faded to barely more than 1 percent. The near-even split between mobile and desktop is striking: although mobile has overtaken desktop worldwide, the two remain far closer than headlines about a mobile-first world often suggest, partly because much desktop use is concentrated in workplaces and wealthier regions. Tablets, once seen as a distinct third category, have been squeezed between ever-larger smartphones and lightweight laptops, leaving them a marginal share. The overall picture confirms that designing for both mobile and desktop remains essential, since neither platform dominates global web usage on its own.
