I generally say “werwerwer”.
Here in france, everyone says "3w". Pronouncing it entirely sounds like "Double V, double V, double V" so "3w" sounds like "Trois double V", which funnily enough, is still longer than world wide web!
But in French "W" is often abbreviated to "V". Like BMW --> Beh Ehm Veh (often shortened even further to "Beh Ehm").
So WWW would be "veh veh veh".
In any case "World Wide Web" is quite the mouthful for the average French speaker.

Watching old commercials is hilarious. "If YOU would like to see our locations on the world-wide-web, visit our website on your web browser by typing in w, w, w, dot, appliance, dash, direct, dot, com!"
It sounds too complicated for me. Probably intended for more advanced users.
My favorite was "The Information Superhighway."

Call it WoWaWe
“Dub dub dub”.
It has to be 30 years that I've been using this. I might have said the full term a couple times at the start but that quickly ended.
Trip dub

"wwww."?
wwwww.
HTTP colon backslash backslash
(I know they're not backslashes.)
I do not pronounce that part of a URL. Who still does that? Why would you need to do that?
Because it's an artifact from a time when having a website for a business was entirely optional, and novel. This wasn't happening everywhere.
Because www.example.com and example.com, while the same website nearly all of the time, are technically different and could point to different places.
True. And there's also the websites that use "en." or some other language code, and "www." just leads to the language selection.

Some people don't know how to properly DNS, and IIRC some smaller DNS services don't support CNAMEing the root.

Say "dubdubdub" or "dubbadubdub". "winwinwin" would also be acceptable.
Dub is short for win.
I think we should sit down and take the shortest syllable version of each word/expression from each language and combine them all into one fast language.
Kids these days don't remember President Dubya I guess 😔
