Engagement

Measure real web activity

Our Engagement data shows how active and visible websites are across the internet. Using anonymized recursive DNS data from Quad9, our Connection Index provides a standardized measure of real user activity online, while our proprietary Economic Footprint score reveals the commercial scale of a website’s presence.

Global scale

Each month we process more than 100 billion connections worldwide, offering one of the largest and most representative views of global internet activity.

Connection Index

A proprietary, standardized metric derived from anonymized recursive DNS data from Quad9. It measures the relative traffic to each hostname by comparing total requests against www.google.com, showing how often users and devices connect to a site in real life.

Economic Footprint

A proprietary score that estimates the online presence and commercial scale of a website, ranging from 0 (low) to 100 (high). It takes into account factors such as incoming links, technical setup, and other structural signals that indicate how established and economically relevant a website is.

Why it matters

Where web traffic meets business insight

To understand a company’s real online presence, you need more than just website content, you need to know how visible and active it is across the web. By combining popularity metrics like the Connection Index with commercial signals from the Economic Footprint, you gain a complete picture of a business’s digital impact.

Use cases:

  • An asset management firm tracks APIs of the technology companies it follows to monitor real traction and user engagement.
  • A payment service provider targets only e-commerce businesses above a certain level of online economic activity.
  • A global brand prioritizes potential risks by focusing on the most visible or economically significant websites that pose a threat.
