Source of this is from Matthew Prince, Co-founder & CEO of Cloudflare posted at 11:34 Jul 9,2023. It was posted to his twitter (@eastdakota). Not linking to twitter bc don’t want a deadlink next time twitter makes API changes. And not to drive traffic to twitter :D

Edit: July 11th update, arstechnica published a detailed explanation

It measures the most popular sites by dns lookup. Twitter fell from 32nd to 39th.

Well this probably doesn’t measure any app user

not a definite measurement for a decline in users but I would argue it shows a trend of less users visiting the site

App users still make API calls to Twitter’s domain. Depending on the domain name, these app users might still be counted.
