TikTok really was everywhere this year.
The app, known for its silly dancing videos, was the world’s most visited site on the internet in 2021, surpassing last year’s leader, Alphabet Inc. GOOGL, +0.67% ‘s Google, according to Cloudflare Inc. NET, +1.22% , a cloud-infrastructure company that tracks internet traffic.

The social video app overtook Google and all of its properties for the first time in Cloudflare’s annual rankings. 

 TikTok was ranked seventh in 2020 behind Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple, Netflix, and Amazon, but jumped to the top amid what might be considered a covid-driven surge in popularity.

Owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, TikTok became a staple of the internet and global youth culture during the pandemic. The app is also banned in India, once its top global market, making the new honor even more impressive. TikTok claims 1 billion monthly active users around the world.
