Average daily traffic to Independent Online hit 758,524 in December, up 10.56% on the previous month.
The Independent made a concerted effort to overhaul its digital offering late last year, redesigning the site, which now carries a bold red masthead, like its printed companion and launching a paywall for non-UK readers and an iPad app.
Despite the uplift, independent.co.uk remains a minnow compared to the big cats of national newspaper websites.
But December proved a tough month for the big cats, with guardian.co.uk the biggest faller, shedding over 20% of its average daily users to 2,937,070.
MailOnline, which is the world's largest English-language newspaper according to ComcScore, fell back over 5% to 4,8838,140, according to ABC.
Telegraph Online, the third biggest national newspaper website, fell back 8.16% to 2,156,001 average daily users in December.
News International's Sun Online fell back over 10% to 1,339,077 average daily users.
