Last month Press Gazette reported that most of the world's top 10 biggest English news sites saw double-digit falls in traffic in November due to the effect of 2020's "Trump bump" which temporarily benefitted many sites covering US politics. Year-on-year comparisons however show a very different picture as January 2021 contained major news events such as Covid-19 surges and the Capitol insurrection and Joe Biden’s inauguration in the US. As in previous months where Press Gazette has reported traffic falls for most leading sites compared to one year ago, all of the ten biggest sites by number of visits saw significant year-on-year falls in traffic. Several of the world’s leading news sites including the BBC, New York Times and Guardian saw small month-on-month traffic increases in January. The biggest year-on-year growth overall, however, was to Live Universal Awareness Map (liveuamap.com) which had 74.8m visits, an increase of 3390% year-on-year.

December was also a slow month for the top sites for month-on-month growth with just three of the top ten news sites (MSN, Google News and Mail Online) seeing more traffic compared to November. Last month’s fastest climbing site, news aggregator newsnow.co.uk, was the biggest faller down nine places from rank 32 to rank 41 in February (56.2 million visits). Cnn.com and edition.cnn.com (614.4 million visits, down 26%), Google News (364.7 million visits, down 27%) and nytimes.com saw the biggest falls. Until February the publisher, which acquired popular word game Wordle in January last year, regularly ranked as the fastest-growing website in the world, according to data from digital intelligence platform Similarweb.
Nevertheless, both sites were well ahead of third-placed CNN which had 569.5 million visits in October. CNN's sites, CNN.com and edition.cnn.com, had for much of 2019 and 2020 been vying with MSN for second place but were overtaken for number of visits by the Microsoft platform in February this year. Microsoft's news aggregation portal MSN meanwhile once again came in second place, while third most visited globally was CNN.

Substack (50.4 million visits, rank 45), independent.co.uk (75.3 million visits, rank 33) and indiatoday.in (71.7 million visits, rank 34) were the biggest climbers, each moving up three places in the ranking.
