Mail Online remained by far the most popular UK newspaper website in March, with nearly double the daily global traffic of the next most popular site, The Guardian.

The Telegraph saw a rapid increase in growth, which had slowed since the site introduced a metered paywall last April.

Growth for the site had dropped to single figures year on year since its paywall move. But, according to ABC, global daily browsers visiting the Telegraph rose 23.5 per cent to 3.6m in March.
