TechLeads scans public websites and detects Basic from signals in the page HTML, scripts, cookies, HTTP headers and DNS records. Market share is Basic's website count divided by the website counts of all WordPress Theme technologies we track; a site using two WordPress Theme tools counts for both. Counts were last refreshed on October 8, 2026 and update daily.
