Only About 1 in 8 Visits to Computer Security Websites Comes From a Phone
The typical computer security website in Diib's data gets 12% of its visits from phones, against 37% for the typical website. Nearly nine in ten visits come from desktop computers.
If you sell computer security products or services, most of your website visitors are likely sitting at a desk. That makes detailed pages, comparisons and downloads easier to use than they would be in a phone-heavy industry, and it means desktop layout problems cost you more.
Most small business websites now get a big share of their visits from phones. Websites in the computer security industry are a clear exception: their visitors are overwhelmingly on desktop computers.
The measure here is the share of a website’s visits that came from a mobile phone over a 30-day period, as reported by Google Analytics.
What the data shows
- Few phone visits. Across 176 computer security websites, the median share of visits from phones was 12%. Across roughly 65,500 websites in all industries, it was 37%.
- Mostly desktop. The typical computer security site got 88% of its visits from desktop computers, against 62% for the typical site overall.
- Consistent pattern. Even the top quarter of computer security sites got only 26% or less of their visits from phones.
What this does and doesn’t tell you
These figures are aggregated from websites connected to Diib, for a 30-day period ending in late October 2026. The data doesn’t show who the visitors are or why they use desktops. A reasonable guess is that many are IT staff and business buyers researching at work, but the data doesn’t prove it.
What it does show is that “mobile first” advice, while sound for most businesses, describes a minority of this industry’s visitors. For computer security sites, the desktop experience is the main experience.
