How can you estimate such numbers in case you don't have such information available?

You can use web tools that make such estimation.

Examples:

http://www.similarweb.com/ (best one in my opinion)

https://www.compete.com/

http://www.alexa.com

http://www.similarweb.com/ is very accurate. I didn't know about this. Thanks a lot :-)
Wow, it certainly is impressive.

I'm checking a domain where I can access Google Analytics stats for comparison, and it is pretty accurate.

Thanks for the props, let me know if there's anything I can help with.

FYI, we have an API at https://developer.similarweb.com/ with much of the data available in our PRO tool, and we're the only such service with mobile & desktop data, as well as coverage of websites in over 50 countries.

It's really nice to see us mentioned here on ycombinator, made my day.
