How these numbers are calculated

TechLeads scans public websites and detects Disqus from signals in the page HTML, scripts, cookies, HTTP headers and DNS records. Market share is Disqus's website count divided by the website counts of all Comment System technologies we track; a site using two Comment System tools counts for both. Counts were last refreshed on October 9, 2026 and update daily.
