# ChatGPT web traffic share rebounds to 55.5%, still down from 73%

*2026-09-07 · Source: [The Decoder](https://the-decoder.com/chatgpt-claws-back-web-traffic-share-to-55-5-percent-as-geminis-brief-comeback-fades/)*

ChatGPT's share of AI chatbot website traffic rose back to 55.5%, according to Similarweb data cited by The Decoder. That's still down sharply from 73.3% a year earlier, as Gemini roughly doubled its share and Claude grew nearly fivefold over the same period. The figures cover web traffic only, not mobile apps or desktop clients.

**Why it matters:** The year-over-year erosion in ChatGPT's dominance lines up with Google folding conversational AI into Gmail, Docs, and Keep, while Anthropic's aggressive compute buildout suggests it's positioning for sustained growth rather than a one-off spike. Web-only traffic likely understates ChatGPT's real usage given its strong separate mobile app base, so the trend line matters more than the absolute share.
