SimilarWeb for Firefox

The secret to having a constant flow of visitors on your website is to monitor it accordingly. This means that you can't really apply any changes or improvements unless you know exactly where these tweaks should be made. With this in mind, SimilarWeb is an extension for Firefox allowing users to see visitors and popularity stats for any website you check. The displayed information is complete, sporting numerous visual aids for the user to get the full picture.

The main idea behind this extension is for users to check how visited a website is. While it could be used just for the fun of the idea, on random sites you check, the truth is SimilarWeb would be better off in the hands of website designers looking to keep an eye on traffic evolution for recently developed sites. The first view you'll encounter when opening the extension pane is a graph showing the frequency of visits between tow specific points in time. You also get a clear reading of global and local website rank as well as the importance of the category it pertains to.

An interesting fact regarding the stats this extension displays has to do with visitors' nationality. In short, you'll notice a neatly designed table with flags and percentages. This is a summary of what nations are most interested in your website. There's even a map to accompany this particular statistic. Continuing with nice diagrams, the extension also provides an equally interesting traffic source visual aid. There's really not much to talk about here. You'll instantly understand where visits to a site come from.

SimilarWeb is an extension that manages to paint a full picture when it comes to visits on a particular website. The tools it provides can be further enhanced by paying a subscription and ultimately upgrading your experience. The extension itself is useful, mostly because it manages to offer a complete and well-explained statistic. If you add the fact that it's not difficult at all to manage it, you've got yourself a pretty useful Firefox extension.
