TikTok is not just a fad. The social network that relies on video has just overtaken Google and thus becomes the most visited site in the world. A real tidal wave that he owes in particular to Generation Z, very fond of its principle.
Google seemed to be unbeatable. The American site, with all its battery of variations (gmail, maps, agenda, etc.) was the first domain name in 2020 in terms of visits. However, it has just been overtaken by a trendy application, according to Cloudflare: TikTok.
TikTok is this very popular application for young people to watch and share home videos. A social network based solely on the image that goes up from year to year. In 2020, the domain name was seventh in terms of visits, he is now first.

TikTok is the most visited domain name in 2021
TikTok, already on the strength of a huge and colossal success last year, is now at the top of the ranking. It thus exceeds Google, but also Facebook, Amazon or Netflix. Here is the full ranking established by the American site Cloudflare:
1 TikTok.com
2 Google.com
3 Facebook.com
4 Microsoft.com
5 Apple.com
6 Amazon.com
7 Netflix.com
8 YouTube.com
9 Twitter.com
10 WhatsApp.com
TikTok claims more than a billion users since September 2021. In addition to offer a simple concept, the Chinese application bases its strength on mobility (thanks to a well-designed smartphone design) and sharing. It is indeed so easy to waste hours just stringing together short funny videos. A real time vacuum cleaner.
Cloudflare specifies that TikTok hasn’t always been the number one site in 2021. The first half of the year was indeed still dominated by Google, with a few times TikTok rising to the first place of the podium (then immediately dislodged). The turning point came in August, since TikTok has been the most visited domain name in the world most of the time since.
A great success for an application that was for a moment under fire from criticism from the American authorities, even risking outright banishment from American territory.
