- Detection: multilingual text classification of crawled page content into topics (websitetopics field). A website can carry multiple topics; counts per topic overlap.
- Known limitations: classification depends on crawlable text; image-heavy or login-gated sites are underrepresented. Topic taxonomy is fixed per crawl cycle.
- Coverage: Dataprovider.com classifies 69.0M primary hostnames as business websites; 43,921,059 of those carry at least one detected topic and form this report's sample. The remainder have too little crawlable text to classify.
