Other small states: Secure Internet servers (per 1 million people)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2024, Other small states' secure Internet servers (per 1 million people) fell 31,169 on 2023 (from 74,719 to 43,550).

Across the 13 yearly changes before that (2011 to 2023), the average change was +5,730 and a typical year strayed about 14,290 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.6 standard deviations below that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 52,947 in 2023 and the biggest yearly fall was 31,169 in 2024. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about 5,925 a year. A straight line explains 65% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures

The number of distinct, publicly-trusted TLS/SSL certificates found in the Netcraft Secure Server Survey (by hosting country), per 1 million people.

Limitations: Netcraft only visits sites on the standard HTTPS port, 443. Whilst it is possible to run an HTTPS server on a different port (using a URL like https://example.com:7000) this behaviour is quite rare on public websites. For example, usual ports are often used for administrative interfaces and other services not intended for the general public. Netcraft tries to visit every public secure website. Note that the survey does not include secure mail servers (SMTP) or intranet sites. So the final number of certificates for each certificate authority will be lower than the total number of server certificates sold by that authority.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
