London: Around 30
percent of all internet traffic is pornography, and the biggest
porn site gets over four billion page views and 350 million unique
visits per month, a study has found.
The ExtremeTech website said the only other websites that surpass
this figure in size are Google and Facebook, the Daily Mail
reported.
The report uncovered the viewing figures for porn website Xvideos
from Google's DoubleClick Ad Planner, which uses cookies to gather
information about users.
It also used actual data from the second biggest porn site,
YouPorn, to check how much data is being transferred out of the
website's servers.
The average length of time spent on Xvideos was 15 minutes. Around
29 petabytes a month, or 50 gigabytes per second, of pornography
is being transferred.
The YouPorn website hosts over 100TB of porn, gets 100 million
page views and transfers 950 terabytes per day.
Earlier this year, over 6,400 passwords and emails of YouPorn
users were hacked and details revealed online.
