America's Best Trending Online Shops 2021
Online shopping has been a part of our lives for years now, but it is still growing fast. According to figures from the U.S. Department of Commerce, last year Americans spent $791.7 billion online, an increase of 32.4 % from 2019. In the U.S. there are more than 2 million online shops, so picking the best ones isn't always easy. To help, Newsweek teamed up with respected research and data firm Statista to compile for the first time our list of America's Best Trending Online Shops.
We looked at tens of thousands of online shops whose traffic and sales have been growing very quickly and selected the 1,000 best across eight general categories: fashion and accessories; food, health and personal care; garden and craft; home living; leisure, games and hobby; office, electronics and media; sport, outdoor and motor; and universal providers—retailers that sell everything. We then broke them down into 36 more specific product subcategories. We ranked them on three criteria: revenue growth, traffic growth and technical details of their sites, things like loading time and mobile optimization, which indicate how easy a site is to use and how long customers spend on it. No matter what you're shopping for, we hope this first-ever ranking listing makes it easier to find the best shops online.

METHODOLOGY
America's Trending Online Shops 2021 were chosen based on an evaluation of their sales, traffic and website technical details. More than 10,000 of the largest online shops were identified using Statista and online databases, online directories and price comparison websites.
Online shops selling mainly digital goods (for example, airbnb.com, netflix. com), subscription-based shops, consumer-to-consumer marketplaces (e.g., ebay. com), business-to-business shops, showcase websites and online shops that do not display their sites in English were excluded.The shops had to meet the following criteria to be evaluated:
- At least 1,000,000 annual website visits in the U.S.
- Growth in both traffic and revenue
- More than half of sales coming from the U.S.
Growth was evaluated from period 1 (March 2019–Febru- ary 2020) to period 2 (March 2020–February 2021). Shops were evaluated on revenue growth (both absolute and relative), traffic growth (both absolute and relative) and technical details showing the performance of their websites. Those include:
- Loading time
- Bounce rate (number of customers who leave the site without looking or buying)
- Page views per visit
- Average time on site
- Mobile optimization
- Cookies: Too many make shopping difficult
