DIGITAL FOOTPRINT
Web traffic, app reach and release cadence
How the Spain companies on this page show up online: the sites people visit, the apps they install, and how often those apps ship.
Busiest websites
35 of the 1,297 companies on this page carry a measured traffic record (2.7%); these are the largest of those, by monthly visits. The median among them is 503,204 visits.
Installs are lifetime totals to date at the June 2026 store reading — a measure of reach, not of people using an app today.
App reach by segment

A company can carry several segment tags, so these rows overlap and should not be added together. Trend lines are zero-based and share one quarter grid, so a flat line is a quiet segment, not a missing one.
Release cadence by quarter
New apps published, beside apps whose most recent update landed in that quarter — the second bar is how much of the shelf is still being maintained.
Darker bars are new releases, lighter bars apps updated. 104 of 128 apps carry a release date. The series ends at 2026Q1, the last quarter that closed before the June 2026 reading.
