AkaRank

AkaRank ranks the most visited websites on the Internet to help you define your allowlists, reduce false positives from blocklists, and evaluate domain legitimacy. Akamai continuously updates the list to ensure its accuracy.

You can also use AkaRank with your generative AI applications to crawl, clean, and train large language models (LLMs). This data enables smarter searching and more secure operations across your AI workflows.
