Your sites, live Measured by you

Add a site, paste one line into its pages, and Alexandria counts real visits as they happen — page views, sessions, new vs returning, pages, referrers, browsers, a live feed. Your data stays in your own account; nobody else can read it.

Every ranked site, measured.

Alexa ranked the web for 26 years before Amazon switched it off on 1 May 2022. This is that instrument rebuilt on sources that still publish: Tranco for rank, the Internet Archive for history, Chrome UX Report for real-user data. Type a domain.

Third-party measurement

Two sources that only work above roughly 5,000 users a month. Both need a key from the provider. Keys are held in this browser tab and disappear when you close it — they are never written into this file or sent anywhere except the provider.

Chrome UX Report — real users, free key

chromeuxreport.googleapis.com

Field data from actual Chrome users on your site, published by Google. An origin only enters the dataset once it has enough traffic, so a result here is itself confirmation you are above the threshold. It measures experience, not visit counts.

Similarweb — estimates, paid key

api.similarweb.com

This is where visit estimates actually come from. Independent testing found Similarweb closest to sites' real analytics among the major providers, strongest in the 5,000–100,000 monthly user band. Browsers usually block calls to this API from a page, so if the fetch fails you will get a command to run and a box to paste the response into.

Why there is no estimate anywhere in this app

Similarweb's traffic estimates come from four things: first-party analytics that millions of sites share with it directly, a contributory network of consumer products that aggregate anonymous device behaviour, partnerships that collect digital signals across the internet, and large-scale public data extraction. The estimates are then modelled from that sample.

Independent testing by SparkToro found Similarweb the closest of the major providers to sites' real Google Analytics figures, but noted its strength lies with sites in the 5,000 to 100,000 monthly user range. Below that the sample thins out and the estimates get noisy or disappear. Alexa had the same problem and never solved it.

None of that panel can be recreated in a web page. So this app doesn't try. Where a number can be measured it is measured, where it can be cited it is cited, and where neither is possible it says so.

What Tranco is

A research ranking built at KU Leuven, introduced to fix the manipulability of Alexa, Umbrella, Majestic and Quantcast. It averages four independent sources over the previous 30 days: Cisco Umbrella, Majestic, the Chrome User Experience Report and Cloudflare Radar. Alexa was removed from it after the service shut down.

It covers one million domains, so most sites on the web have no Tranco rank. That is not a failure of the lookup — it is the honest answer for a site that no public ranking measures.

Getting better numbers than this app can give

For your own site, Search Console and GA4 are the ceiling: they count real requests. For competitors, Similarweb's free tier gives three months of history and caps most reports at five rows, which is enough for a directional read. Paid plans start around $125 a month and API access is far higher.
