Best Website Traffic Estimator Tools for 2019

1. SEMRush

Website: http://semrush.com

I know you all heard of this. SEMRush is the Swiss army knife of a digital marketer. I can’t live without this tool even on a day in my professional life.

And, I am not the first blogger with this opinion. Maybe, that got you thinking. What’s so great about this tool?

Well, SEMRush has got everything an internet marketer needs. Not only traffic estimation, it can help you find competitor keywords, paid marketing strategies, backlinks and a lot more.

Unlike most of the other website traffic estimator tools, SEMRush shows you the number of paid and organic visits a website gets.

In my experience, the figures of SEMRush closely match the exact figures.

How can you use the website traffic checker of SEMRush? Nothing complicated!

Just visit their homepage, and enter the domain of the website you want to check. If you want to check the traffic of a certain page, you need to enter the whole URL.

Just wait one or two seconds to see the magic. It will display the number of visits that particular website gets from the search engine. Moreover, you can get the amount of visits he/she brings via paid marketing methods as well.

We all know the best source of traffic is organic. It has the best conversion rate and ROI. So, better you put websites with more search traffic into your list.

I suggest you having an eye on the backlinks window too. Make sure that the website you pitch (for guest post or whatever) has the cleanest link profile.

Let us place the site traffic estimator tag of SEMRush aside. You know what? You can reap a whole lot of profitable keyword from the data provided by SEMRush. The organic keywords section reveals tons of keywords your competitor (the site you entered) is ranking for.

Another feature of SEMRush is the domain comparison. You can plug in multiple domain names to compare the statistics. Of course, as it has a website traffic estimator, SEMRush can compare the traffic as well.

In case you already started using the tool, you might have found out that after a few researches it will show the limit is reached banner. You have to subscribe to a paid plan to enjoy the seamless service.

Pros

• Close to accurate website traffic statistics
• The best tool for competitor analysis
• Allows extensive keyword research
• Domain name comparison
• Backlink analysis
• Trial period available
• Limited free checks allowed

Cons

• A paid tool

2. SimilarWeb

Website: https://www.similarweb.com

Next up in this list of best website traffic estimator tools is SimilarWeb. If you have been in this field since long, you might have heard of this.

In theory, the function of SimilarWeb is not difference than that of SEMRush. Still, the data differs (not very much, though) as the algorithm used by both the tools are different.

I had spent quite some quality time with this tool before I started writing about it. The surprising fact is they didn’t show the exact pricing on the website even if it is a paid tool. We need to contact them to seal the deal. Obviously, it eliminates the transparency out of the picture.

The best thing about it is you don’t have to be a paid user to estimate the website traffic. Yeah, once you visit the website, you can see a field where the site URL should be entered.

After a few seconds delay, you will see the result. Unlike SEMRush, what SimilarWeb shows is the traffic in the last six months. It could have been more convenient if they had displayed the last month’s figure there. Nonetheless, it shouldn’t be an issue as long as you never forget to divide numbers. (I was kidding. There’s an option to choose the time frame on the website traffic estimator).

In order to get you an idea in the first glance itself, they have a ranking feature (just like Alexa). Obviously, websites with ranking less than 100k is the best in terms of traffic.

I haven’t seen any free trial option on their website. When it comes to keyword research, the tool only shows the top five results. A new blog can’t get obvious benefits from getting the top keywords of an authoritative website. Still, it works for sites of similar authority.

The best thing about SimilarWeb is the sticky bar on the top that includes option to convert this list to PDF, choose your preferred country and timeframe.

Pros

• Almost close to accurate website traffic estimator
• Different sections for search, referral, and social traffic
• Filter to select preferred country and date
• Export to PDF option
• Ranking system to get a one-glance idea about the traffic.

Cons

• Absence of trial period
• Lack of transparency in pricing.
• Very less features in free version

3. Ahrefs

Website: http://ahrefs.com

Ahrefs needs no introduction in the digital marketing field. When it comes to backlink analysis, most people vote for this one (Still, I would like to stick with SEMRush).

You can understand the purpose of the tool from the name itself. The tool was made for the sole intent of checking backlink profile of websites.

But over the years, Ahrefs has been developed to become one of the best SEO tools.

Ahrefs has many features. You can check backlinks, get competitor keywords and of course, it acts as a website traffic estimator tool as well.

Unlike SEMRush, Ahrefs doesn’t provide free checking. You have to take a free trial account or purchase the premium version to enjoy its features.

It has a specific section for organic traffic, from where you can get close-to-accurate information about the number of page views that particular website (you enter) gets from the search engine.

The trial period offered by Ahrefs is 14 days. Yeah, you can get a clear picture of its website traffic estimator and other features within these two weeks.

Pros

• Best backlink checker tool
• Allows competitor analysis
• Close-to-accurate data provided by the website traffic estimator

Cons

• Site explorer sometimes works slow
• A bit pricey

4. Rank2Traffic

Website: http://www.rank2traffic.com

If you are looking only for a website traffic estimator and nothing more, you must go for Rank2Traffic. You can use it free forever. So, no pop-ups to purchase the premium version will ever disturb you.

Before you check the tool out, let me tell you how its website traffic estimator works.

Unlike SEMRush and SimilarWeb I have shared above, Rank2Traffic doesn’t have its own algorithm. Yeah, that’s right! So, how do they show the website traffic estimation?

Well, they have joined hand-in-hand with Alexa ranking system. The convention is that the better the Alexa rank, the more the traffic is. (Most of us now know the fact, though). In most of the scenarios, this convention turns out to be true as well.

What Rank2Traffic does is it converts the Alexa figures to the number of visits. It is possible to guess the traffic if we get the Alexa ranking (of course, with the help of some background processes). Moreover, it stores the rank data of every website for seven years. Means, you can pull out the same whenever you want.

So, how can you use this website traffic estimator?

Nothing complicated!

You can see a field given on the homepage of their website. In order to check the traffic of a website, you have to enter the URL. That’s it. You can’t check the traffic of a specific webpage, though.

Now the question comes. Is it accurate?

Given that almost every bloggers use Alexa tool, the data of blogging niche blogs are found to have the most difference.

When it comes to the rest of the sites (with no manipulation in Alexa rank), the stats stay close (not-so-much) to the actual ones.

Pros

• Completely free website traffic estimator
• Simple and straightforward interface
• Stores the history for seven years

Cons

• Can’t trust the credibility of the stats from its website traffic estimator
• No extra features available

5. Traffic Estimate

Website: http://www.trafficestimate.com/

Do you not like any fanciness? Most people like getting graphs and similar data driven graphics from their website traffic estimator.

In case you are not a fan of such features, you should use Traffic Estimate. You get what you want. On the right-top portion of the homepage, you will see a textbox to enter the domain name of the website, whose traffic you would like to check.

Once you enter the domain, you will get an approximated traffic count that particular website got in a span of the last thirty days.

In case you want to get additional features like top ranking keywords, referral traffic information, and all, this website traffic estimator can’t satisfy you.

From the navigation bar of the website, you will know that Traffic Estimate has a handful tools. At first, I thought it to be a digital marketing gold mine.

So, I went on to checking a few of them. Sadly, almost none of them worked. I am obsessed with checking my websites’ ranking every day. So, I tested their search engine position checker. Needless to say, it disappointed me. No matter what keyword I gave (even those I am ranking for), it returned the not found like a primary school student trying to learn a poem by repeating.

Pros

• The website traffic estimator available for free
• No fancy elements
• Easy-to-use interface

Cons

• I am skeptical about the accuracy
• The tools come along with the website traffic estimator are not worth it.

6. SitePrice

Website: http://www.siteprice.org

Do you want a complete analysis of a website? By complete, I didn’t mean it to reach the level of SEMRush. SitePrice provides you with the details related to Alexa rank, number of indexed pages of different search engines, estimated website price, meta data, top ranking keywords, etc.

SitePrice even displays the domain age. I hope you know the age of the domain has the significant role in defining the authority, which in term influences the search rankings.

From my experience, it displays all direct data (the details, which can be found accurately by third-party tools like indexing status, meta data etc.) with 100% precision.

When it comes to traffic count, I don’t think it render the result with at most accuracy. I think they are slow in bringing up the updates. Chances are the tool displays the same old data for quite a long time.

Another best thing about it is you get an approximation of the advertisement revenue sites gain. They use an algorithm to calculate the same based on the traffic count. Though it didn’t come very close to mine, the result from this website traffic estimator was acceptable.

Just like Rank2Traffic, this one also relies upon Alexa data. In my experience, I have found out that the top keywords SitePrice display, are the same as that of Alexa.

Along with these features, you can see quite a lot additional tools on the website like SEO Checker, Google Position Finder, do-follow checker, etc.

Pros

• An all-in-one tool with detailed data
• Completely free website traffic estimator tool
• Additional SEO tools

Cons

• Traffic count is not so accurate
• Dependent on Alexa

7. SiteWorthTraffic

Website: http://www.siteworthtraffic.com

Next up in this list of best website traffic checkers is SiteWorthTraffic. The tool displays a handful of analytic details for you.

You can use it without any cost. The tool is available for unlimited usage without spending even a single dime on it.

All you have to do is entering the URL of your site into the textbox given on the right-top corner of the homepage. Within a few seconds (not much waiting), you will see the result page comprise of various analytical data.

On the top, you get a rough estimation of the value of the website. Along with it, you will also see the estimated daily page views, Alexa ranking, IP address, and the daily revenue (of course, estimated).

In my research, I found out that the algo of SiteWorthTraffic that calculates the income from its website traffic estimator is poor. Yeah, I mean it!

Scrolling down on the result page reveals you daily, monthly, and yearly approximations. You will also get details from Alexa as well.

In order to get you the most data of a website, SiteWorthTraffic displays source graph from SimilarWeb on their website traffic estimator.

Is the traffic count accurate? Nah! But you can adjust with it.

Pros

• Brings you additional details like daily, monthly, yearly estimations, Alexa and SimilarWeb data.
• Easy-to-use interface
• Always free website traffic checker

Cons

• The income calculating algo is mediocre
• Traffic estimation isn’t the best-in-class

8. StatChest

Website: http://www.statchest.com

If you don’t mind getting some additional details like Alexa rank and Moz DA, you can use StatChest. It is not a website traffic estimator only, but a package of tools.

On the homepage, you will get a textbox to enter the domain of the website you want to get an approximated traffic count. The UI of the website is simple and elegant. And, you won’t find any annoying ads there as well.

Once you enter the URL, you have to wait a few seconds to give it some time to generate the report.

The most highlighted one is the value for the website. Below the same, the tool displays a summary of the site. You can find out the domain registrar, estimated page views, revenue, page speed score and Moz DA as well.

Scrolling down to the bottom reveals the data in details. I have noticed an interesting thing while going through a result page. For a website that gets over 100000 hits a month from Google, the tool showed it has no pages indexed on Google.

I know StatChest is bluffing. In order to make the result even more credible, the website traffic estimator displays two Alexa graphs; one for rank and another for search traffic.

Pros

• Displays additional data like Alexa rank and DA on the website traffic estimator.
• You can even sell your websites.

Cons

• The data is not so accurate.

9. MySiteWealth

Website: http://mysitewealth.com/

MySiteWealth is more or less similar to what we see above as StatChest. The design of the website is simple and elegant.

When you visit the site, you get a textbox to enter the domain of the site you want to estimate the traffic of. Once you do it, the website traffic estimator tool doesn’t take more than five seconds to present the report before you.

As I stated just above, the result looks exactly similar to what we get from StatChest. On the top of the page, it features the value for the site. Then, you will see a summary that involves Alexa rank, daily average visitors, and the daily revenue.

If you want to share the result on social media, you can use the buttons given below the summary.

And, as featured stats, you see page speed score, domain authority, and bounce rate. Of all these metrics, bounce rate should be lower whereas for the rest; the higher, the better.

Similar to StatChest, you get two different graphs from Alexa too. In order to depict the percent of organic, referral and social traffic, MyStatWealth has integrated a graph from SimilarWeb as well.

Moreover, you will also get the top keywords.

Pros

• The website traffic estimator displays additional details.
• Data from different sources available.

Cons

• Accuracy is analysis is less.

10. StatShow

Website: http://www.statshow.com

The last one in this list of best website traffic estimator is StatShow.

Enter the domain you want to check and you can see all the necessary facts on the upcoming page.

Along with the daily page views, it displays the worth and daily ad revenue as well. In order to kick away the use of other tools, it displays graphs from Alexa and SEMRush too.

Moreover, StatShow presents DNS details and who.is information on the results page. I am not a fan of their traffic estimation. The count turned out to be terribly away from the actual number.

Pros

• Simple website interface
• Displays additional information and graphs from other service providers like Alexa and SEMRush.

Cons

• The traffic and ad income measure are terribly away from the actual numbers.

Wrapping Up

So, you have got ten of the best website traffic checkers now.

Which one is the best?

If you ask me, I will definitely go for SEMRush. You get features like competitor analysis and backlink checking as bonuses.

Not to mention, SEMRush has both free and trial versions available. You can use them to find out the service quality.

When it comes to completely free website traffic estimator, none on the web is reliable. If some facts are true, there may be some wrong ones. This is the case of almost all free traffic checkers.
