Yandex (yandex.kz) is a search engine and a sister site to yandex.com. The Yandex brand is one of the most popular search engines in the world and the most used search engine in Russia due to its focus on the native Russian language (Russian Russki yazyk). Some people use yandex.kz for streaming.

As of December 2023, yandex.kz has 67.98 million monthly views (69.1 million Dec 2022), according to Similar Web. The Wayback Machine estimates that yandex.kz was founded on June 4, 2004. It has been heavily trafficked since roughly 2014. A site like mine gets most of its traffic from search engines. And only recently have I noticed traffic coming from any of Yandex’s domains. Today I get roughly 1% of my traffic from Yandex. I’m happy Yandex exists and trust it as a search engine. That said, I have also run malware tests on it and the results are below.
