The Web Index

Designed and produced by the World Wide Web Foundation, the Web Index is the first multi-dimensional measure of the World Wide Web’s contribution to development and human rights globally. It covers 81 countries, incorporating indicators that assess the areas of universal access; freedom and openness; relevant content; and empowerment.

Established by Web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the World Wide Web Foundation is a non-profit organization which seeks to establish the open Web as a global public good and a basic right, ensuring that everyone can access and use it freely.
