Pornhub’s statisticians also released data showing Increased Video Uploads From Verified Models.
Worldwide traffic to Pornhub continues to be much higher than it was before the Coronavirus pandemic spread worldwide. The peak increase of 24.4% happened on March 25th after we offered Free Pornhub Premium to encourage people to say indoors and distance themselves socially.
Comparisons were made to an average traffic period in February before the pandemic. Because traffic varies depending on the day of the week, each day was compared to the same day of the week during the average period. (You can see Pornhub’s normal traffic levels as detailed in our 2019 Year in Review).
The following chart illustrates how Pornhub’s traffic began to increase sooner in Europe than other parts of the world, as the virus began to spread.
Traffic changes became noticeable much later in the United States, as it joined Europe with quarantines, social distancing and work-at-home efforts encouraged or required by most states. Even with some state relaxing their quarantines and allowing some people to return to work, Pornhub’s traffic has stayed much higher than it was in February.
