BuiltWith CMS Usage Stats

From Issue #49

I found the BuiltWith page for CMS usage. It’s…sobering.

They now peg WordPress as powering something between 37% and 44% of the web. That number seems to go up every time I see it. It seems a little overblown, but even if it’s a little high, it’s still not healthy.

(But, there’s weirdness there: they list several things that are clearly not CMSs. Google Search Appliance? Atlassian Cloud?)

This is item #245 in a sequence of 305 items.
