Technology website The Register attracted a record number of unique users in April this year, according to its latest audit by the Audit Bureau of Circulations Electronic (ABCe) .

Unique users to the site increased by 13 per cent year-on-year to 5,243459, while page impressions rose by 17 per cent year-on-year to 34,596,383.

Internal statistics for the site suggest that 1.5 million unique users of the site are based in the UK making it the UK's most popular technology and science news website, a press release said.

"It's the quality of our content that pulls the readers in. Our readership growth is down to word of mouth,” said John Lettice, co-founder and editorial director of The Register.

"We invest a lot of time and money into editorial, to ensure that we get the stories that nobody else does and to make sure that we tell the story in the incisive, sceptical way our readers expect.'

The site also attracts more than 22,000 reader comments a month, the release said.
