We will be retiring Alexa.com
Wow, that is a bummer!<p>Alexa is my go-to place to get a first impression on how much traffic a website gets.<p>I have never looked into how they get their data, I always assumed they get it from internet providers?<p>Is there an alternative? SimilarWeb publishes their data with a huge delay, so it is not of much use for me. From my experience, it is also less reliable.<p>It is crazy how valuable internet properties get closed down when they are owned by giant companies. According to Alexa, Alexa is still a top-5000 site:<p><a href="https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/alexa.com" rel="nofollow">https://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/alexa.com</a><p>It seems insane to just close it down.
