Global technology news and reviews website
TechRadar is an online technology publication owned by Future plc. It has editorial teams in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia that provide news and reviews of tech products and gadgets. It was launched in 2008 and expanded to the US in January 2012. It further expanded to Australia in October 2012. It was the largest consumer technology, news and review site from the UK as of 2013.
TechRadar also has licensed versions in Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, the Netherlands and Belgium. The Indian and Middle East versions of the site closed in October 2022. It also has two spin-off sites, TechRadar Pro and TechRadar Gaming.
TechRadar is owned by Future plc, the sixth-largest publisher in the United Kingdom. In Q4 2017, TechRadar entered the top 100 of Similarweb's US Media Publications Rankings as the 93rd biggest media site in the United States.
In 2023, TechRadar underwent a significant redesign, which the company described as a relaunch. The redesign aimed to enhance user navigation, with a shift from story-type to product category-based navigation.
