Wikipedia is the most visited website in Romania, according to a new study by Hostinger, who analyzed online ranking data and mapped the most visited website in every country around the world.
Wikipedia is the most visited in 15 of the 38 European countries according to the research. Having become the first-choice online knowledge bank for many – and now, the world’s largest online encyclopedia – Wikipedia has multiplied its potential readership with the addition of foreign-language portals and translations. On the advent of Wikipedia’s 15th anniversary, Pew Research Center revealed that the most popular English-language pages tend to concern current events and movies. Meanwhile, Spanish users tend to read up on sports and history.
Beyond Wikipedia, local news media sites are popular across Europe. In the Balkans, for example, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, and Croatia each have a media and news site with the local domain extension as their most-visited site; in the UK, it’s the BBC. In Georgia, however, the imageboard forum and contentious news-sharing site 4Chan is web users’ most common destination.
The data also reveals the most visited Banking, Fashion, Food & Beverage and News site in Romania.
