However, web content adoption lags significantly: only 40% of top-500 sites are IPv6-enabled, and just ~20% of all websites are reachable over IPv6. The author notes that even with Cloudflare offering free IPv6 proxying enabled by default, adoption remains slow — highlighting how gradually infrastructure changes in IT. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What percentage of websites are reachable over IPv6 according to RFC 9386? Only about 20% of websites are reachable over IPv6, even though 40% of the top-500 sites are IPv6-enabled. RFC 9386, documenting deployment status in late 2022, also reports over a billion IPv6-capable users and IPv6 deployment close to 50% in major countries — yet web content adoption trails far behind overall network readiness. _Engineers tracking IPv6 rollout across their infrastructure follow deployment milestones like these on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [IPv6 Adoption in 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/ipv6-adoption-in-2026-fi2iowjgj) · Lobsters · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [IPv6 in 2025 – Transitioning to IPv6](https://daily.dev/posts/ipv6-in-2025-transitioning-to-ipv6-x1lwgorkb) · Cisco · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [I spent a WEEK without IPv4 to understand IPv6 transition mechanisms](https://daily.dev/posts/i-spent-a-week-without-ipv4-to-understand-ipv6-transition-mechanisms-iscykz0il) · Hacker News · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [IPv6 just turned 30 and still hasn’t taken over the world](https://daily.dev/posts/ipv6-just-turned-30-and-still-hasn-t-taken-over-the-world-6woptndje) · Hacker News · 0 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#networking](https://daily.dev/tags/networking), [#cloudflare](https://daily.dev/tags/cloudflare) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/worth-reading-ipv6-deployment-status-ipspace-net-blog-zi2o2i1ks) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Worth Reading: IPv6 Deployment Status « ipSpace.net blog","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/worth-reading-ipv6-deployment-status-ipspace-net-blog-zi2o2i1ks","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/worth-reading-ipv6-deployment-status-ipspace-net-blog-zi2o2i1ks"},"datePublished":"2026-08-11T08:56:13.491Z","dateModified":"2026-08-11T09:29:52.815Z","description":"RFC 9386 documents IPv6 deployment status as of late 2022, reporting over a billion IPv6-capable users and deployment approaching 50% in major countries....","image":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--VDukGCjf--/f_auto/v1722860399/public/Placeholder%2002","thumbnailUrl":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--VDukGCjf--/f_auto/v1722860399/public/Placeholder%2002","isAccessibleForFree":true,"articleSection":"ipSpace.net Blog","inLanguage":"en","publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180}},"author":{"@type":"Organization","name":"ipSpace.net Blog","logo":"https://media.daily.dev/image/upload/s--xS7E82MT--/f_auto,q_auto/v1786438303/logos/ipspace?_a=BAMAMicg0","url":"https://daily.dev/sources/ipspace"},"commentCount":0,"discussionUrl":"https://daily.dev/posts/worth-reading-ipv6-deployment-status-ipspace-net-blog-zi2o2i1ks","interactionStatistic":[{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"LikeAction"},"userInteractionCount":0},{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":{"@type":"CommentAction"},"userInteractionCount":0}],"keywords":"networking,cloudflare","timeRequired":"PT1M"} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https://daily.dev"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"ipSpace.net Blog","item":"https://daily.dev/sources/ipspace"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Worth Reading: IPv6 Deployment Status « ipSpace.net blog"}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"FAQPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/worth-reading-ipv6-deployment-status-ipspace-net-blog-zi2o2i1ks#faq","mainEntity":[{"@type":"Question","name":"What percentage of websites are reachable over IPv6 according to RFC 9386?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Only about 20% of websites are reachable over IPv6, even though 40% of the top-500 sites are IPv6-enabled.
