How these numbers are calculated

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