What the numbers mean for a feature

These figures describe the whole site. An individual article gets a share of that traffic, not all of it.

Nothing in the UK reaches more people. If the aim is ordinary public awareness rather than professional credibility, The Sun reaches an audience that national broadsheets and trade titles simply do not, and it reaches them in enormous numbers.

It is an estimate rather than audited circulation, and we do not claim to know which measurement tool produced it, so we say where we got it rather than naming a source we have not verified. We refresh these every few months.
