Methodology

Device categories are parsed from the User-Agent string of each incoming pageview beacon at collection time — desktop, mobile, tablet, television, gaming and e-reader classes. Pageviews are aggregated daily, network-wide, across public opt-in BYOViral sites only; private sites never contribute to this dataset.

The network composition affects the mix: participating sites currently skew toward desktop-heavy content audiences, which lifts desktop well above global mobile-first benchmarks.
