Segments

Headline metrics broken down by segment. Toggle the segmentation axis and the weighting. Rank-weighting (FR-23b) weights each domain by 1/Tranco-rank, so a restriction on a top site counts far more than one deep in the tail.

One crawl ingested (2026-07-17). Cross-crawl trend lines appear automatically when the next monthly crawl lands.
