Sites traffic and engagement behave more differently than you’d expect, with Google.com sessions averaging 5 minutes 32 seconds while Wikipedia visits average just 2.1 pages per trip and a 38% bounce rate. Meanwhile, the shopping math is brutal, since Amazon.com’s cart abandonment hits 69.8% and Facebook users spend 30.9 minutes daily globally. These contrasts across browsing, streaming, social, and commerce make the full dataset far more revealing than any single platform’s headline.
