Web Server Survey. In the April 2014 survey we received responses from 958,919,789 sites — 39 million more than last month.

Although their data isn't infallible, it does give us a pretty good idea of the size and growth of the web. We've gathered information from a few of these sources and created some handy graphics below to help put it all in perspective. Top image based on a photograph from iStockphoto user Petrovich9.
