In 2026, Sierra Leone's internet penetration has increased to 26%, reflecting ongoing digital infrastructure improvements. Most users access the web via mobile devices, which now account for 72% of the traffic. Despite progress, website load times remain relatively high at 8.2 seconds, highlighting the need for better hosting and optimization practices to improve user experience.
The government has expanded its online presence with 1,200 official websites, yet only 45% comply with web accessibility standards, limiting access for disabled users. As digital inclusion advances, focus should be on enhancing website performance and accessibility to ensure equitable access across all user groups in Sierra Leone.
