“The ChatGPT phenomenon spread like wildfire at the end of 2022 and we expect it to soon break all records of being the fastest-ever website to reach 1 billion monthly active users in such an incredibly short space of time,” said Stefan Katanic, CEO of Veza Digital.

Moreover, the report mentioned a total of 847.8 million unique visitors accessed OpenAI’s website throughout March, meaning it climbed nine positions in the global ranking to number 18.

It experienced an even bigger leap the month before when it jumped 24 positions from being the world’s 51st most visited website to ranking at number 27.

“We believe that AI will play a big role in over 50 per cent of businesses in the next five years, as such we are even looking to embrace this technology advancement in our daily operations as well as strategically geo-positioning of our company,” Katanic said.

OpenAI already surpassed the one-billion-visit milestone in February of this year, and it was expected to reach 1.6 billion visits in March. Every ninth visitor comes from the US, which is the website’s primary source of traffic, the report stated.
