Check out the new XPRTs around the world infographic!

As we look forward to continued growth for the XPRTs in 2025, it’s also a fitting time to take stock of just how much their reach has already grown around the globe. In the marketing world, reach is often defined as the size of the audience that sees and/or engages with your content. We track XPRT reach with several metrics—including completed test runs, benchmark downloads, and mentions of the XPRTs in advertisements, articles, and tech reviews. Gathering this information gives us insight into how many people are using the XPRTs, and it provides a sense of the impact the XPRTs are having around the world. It also helps us understand the needs of those who use them.

From time to time, we publish an updated version of an “XPRTs around the world” infographic, which features highlights from the reach metrics we track. This week, we published a new version of the infographic that includes the following highlights:

  • Over 4,100 unique sites have collectively mentioned the XPRTs more than 20,500 times.
  • Those mentions include more than 12,900 tech articles and reviews.
  • XPRT tech press mentions and test runs have originated in over 983 cities located in 84 countries on six continents. New cities of note include San Salvador, El Salvador; Salamanca, Mexico; Fes, Morocco; Wanaka, New Zealand; and Luzern, Switzerland.

In addition to the reach metrics we mention above, the XPRTs have now delivered more than 2,020,000 real-world results! We’re grateful for everyone who’s used the XPRTs and has spread the word to others. Your active involvement makes it possible for us to achieve our overall goals: to provide benchmark tools that are reliable, relevant, free, and simple to use.

More than two million XPRT benchmark runs and downloads!

As we near the end of 2024, we’re excited to share that the XPRTs have passed another notable milestone—over 2,000,000 combined runs and downloads! The rate of growth in the total number of XPRT runs and downloads is exciting. It took about seven and a half years for the XPRTs to pass one million total runs and downloads—but it’s taken less than half that, three and a half years, to add another million. Figure 1 shows the climb to the two-million-run mark.

As you would expect, most of the runs contributing to that total come from WebXPRT tests. If you’ve run WebXPRT in any of the 983 cities and 84 countries from which we’ve received completed test data—including newcomers El Salvador, Malaysia, Morocco, and Saudi Arabia—we’re grateful for your help in reaching this milestone! As Figure 2 illustrates, WebXPRT use has grown steadily since the debut of WebXPRT 2013. On average, we now record more than twice as many WebXPRT runs each month than we recorded in WebXPRT’s entire first year. With over 340,000 runs so far in 2024—an increase of more than 16 percent over last year’s total—that growth is showing no signs of slowing down.

This milestone isn’t just about numbers. Establishing and maintaining a presence in the industry and experiencing year-over-year growth requires more than technical know-how and marketing efforts. It requires the ongoing trust and support of the benchmarking community—including OEM labs, the tech press, and independent computer enthusiasts—and those who simply want to know how good their devices are at web browsing.

Once again, we’re thankful for the support of everyone who’s used the XPRTs over the years, and we look forward to another million!

If you have any questions or comments about any of the XPRTs, we’d love to hear from you!
