Algunos datos sobre el internet de 2024
16 Sep 2025A principios de año (como corresponde) podíamos leer 2024 according to Cloudflare: Global traffic up, Google still king, US churning out bots donde se habla del informe de Cloudflare (famoso últimamente en nuestro entorno por los bloqueos indscriminados de La Liga) Cloudflare 2024 Year in Review.
El titular sería que el tráfico en internet crece (un 17.2%).
Una parte de responsabilidad la tienen los bots, que no siempre son malos.
As far as bots go, this label covers any non-human internet traffic, so not all are necessarily malicious. Cloudflare says it maintains a list of verified bots such as those used for search engine indexing, performance testing, and availability monitoring.
La fuente principal de tráfico sería los EEUU (34,86%), seguida de lejos por Alemania (6,8%) y después China y Singapur.
However, the US is far and away the largest source of this traffic, accounting for 34.6 percent, while second-placed Germany sits at just 6.8 percent. Iran, China, and Singapore follow, with the UK in sixth place at 3.2 percent.
El tráfico en IPv6 (la versión actual del protocolo IP, que permite un número mayor de direcciones y resuelve algunos de los problemas tradicionales) parece que decrece ligeramente.
One surprise (or perhaps not) is that IPv6 traffic is actually down as a percentage of the packets that passed through Cloudflare's network. It says that 28.5 percent of global traffic was IPv6 during 2024, whereas last year's report put this figure at 33.75 percent.
El tráfico móvil constituye un 41,3% del total.
Mobile device traffic accounted for about 41.3 percent of the total, which is roughly the same as last year. This is largely split between the Apple and Android ecosystems, with iOS on almost a third and Android accounting for two-thirds.
El navegador más popular sería Chrome, con un 65,8% de todas las peticiones, seguido de Safari (15,5%), Edge (6,9%) y Firefox (4%).
Google's Chrome appears to be the most popular browser by far, accounting for 65.8 percent of all requests during 2024. Just 15.5 percent came from Apple's Safari browser, which leads the way on iOS devices, naturally. Microsoft's Edge accounted for 6.9 percent of browsing, while Mozilla Firefox stood at 4 percent.
Google sigue siendo el buscador más usado (88%).
For search engines, Google also claimed the top spot, with a greater than 88 percent share of all search traffic that passed through Cloudflare. Yandex and Baidu were next with 3.1 percent and 2.7 percent, respectively, while Bing trailed with 2.6 percent. DuckDuckGo accounted for 0.9 percent of searches.
Ya hay un 13% del tráfico con cifrado post-cuántico.
One surprising figure is that 13 percent of traffic operating with Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3 is using post-quantum encryption, which must mean that some organizations must be taking seriously the potential security threat posed by quantum computers.
España lidera la velocidad de descarga, con 292,6 Mbps y también la de subida, con 192,6 Mbps.
Cloudflare names Spain as the leader in internet download speed (292.6 Mbps) and upload speed (192.6 Mbps), and says that the top ten countries all had average download speeds above 200 Mbps.
A veces hay que mirar los números para conocer mejor el mundo en el que estamos.
