The Web index is a measure of the Web's growth, utility and impact around the world. It has been designed and produced by the World Wide Web Foundation.
"How healthy is the web?" is an interactive visualisation which allows exploring the different components of the web index in the different countries. Each country is represented by an icon divided into four squares, each of which gives a measure to the following subindexes:
- Universal Access
- Relevant Content
- Freedom and Openness
- Impact and Empowerment
