Charts & Rankings
How do recipe rankings work?
Rankings are based purely on natural view counts — real traffic from search engines, social media, and organic discovery. There's no editorial bias or manipulation. The most-viewed recipes rise to the top across daily, weekly, monthly, and all-time charts.
What are the different chart periods?
We have four chart periods: Daily (last 24 hours), Weekly (last 7 days), Monthly (last 30 days), and All-Time (cumulative). Each shows the top recipes ranked by community engagement.
How are Editor's Notes chosen?
Our editorial team uses AI-assisted curation to highlight noteworthy trending recipes. Editor's Notes appear on select recipes that show interesting trends or cultural significance.
