The Sun was again the fastest growing UK national newspaper website in October as growth of the market-leading Mail Online appears to have stalled.

As The Sun approached the anniversary of dropping its online paywall its web traffic grew 144.5 per cent to 3.1m global unique browsers (different devices) per day, according to ABC.

The Evening Standard was the second fastest growing UK newspaper website audited by ABC, up 46 per cent to just under 600,000 unique browsers per day.
