The RationalWiki website lost a huge amount of web traffic in the latter part of 2019 and throughout most the first half of 2020 (see graphics below). In January of 2022, SimilarWeb.com reported that the RationalWiki.org website was dropping in terms of its global ranking of web traffic (see: [[RationalWiki_and_web_traffic#2022 state of RationalWiki.org in terms of web traffic and web marketing metrics|2022 state of RationalWiki.org in terms of web traffic and web marketing metrics]]).

As of December 5, 2021, a RationalWikian put a "this section needs updating" in the "scope and statistics" section of the RationalWiki web page describing itself.<ref>[https://rationalwiki.org/w/index.php?title=RationalWiki&oldid=2389486 RationalWiki], December 5, 2021</ref>  But as of July 25, 2022, the "scope and statistics" section has yet to be thoroughly updated. Apparently, RationalWiki does not want its readers to know about the tremendous amount of web traffic it lost.
