Hey webmasters, I'd like to share with you the Web Technologies service that I've been spending a lot of time on lately. It tracks and ranks technologies used on websites, and can be useful in choosing the next technology to use on your site. It is based on data from our all-in-one Website Information tool (e.g., digitalpoint.com). Key features: Information and rankings for over 3,800 technologies in 150 categories. For example, here is a profile of this forum software: XenForo. Market share and usage statistics of technologies, broken down by country, language, and domain category. Lists of the top sites using each technology. Statistics on versions, editions, and some other values like charset, meta robots, etc. Side-by-side comparisons where you can see which technology is more popular. For example, Drupal vs. Joomla, Sass vs. Less, React vs Vue, etc. In addition to the technologies used to build websites, you can estimate the popularity of services that are usually linked to, such as social networks, designer portfolios, code hostings, audio streaming services, etc. I hope everyone finds something of interest. Feedback is welcome. Tell us what you think. Suggest technologies you would like us to add.
Why do you split out PHP and WordPress when WordPress is a subset of PHP? How do you determine what database is being used? Most websites use Javascript and something else - when you present them in a circle like this it's hard to understand what the story is that you're trying to tell. For instance you have charset noted as used on 98% of webpages/websites but it only takes a small slither of the chart.
Thanks for the feedback. WordPress is not a subset of PHP, it is written in PHP. And there are many sites built with pure PHP or powered by other PHP-based CMSes like Drupal, Joomla, etc. WordPress => MySQL, DNN => Microsoft SQL Server, and so on... Yes, that pie chart is not standard because the sum of its values is more than 100%. Charset has 98% and JS has 81%, this chart visualizes the market shares of these technologies relative to each other. Maybe I need to replace it with something else if it is unclear...
That's my point. All wordpress sites are PHP while not all PHP sites are wordpress. If you show PHP in the list you shouldn't be showing the CMS - it's information you drill down to or get from some other kind of graph such as the nested donut - dummy data at https://codesandbox.io/p/devbox/nested-pie-forked-2qjyf7 and there could be more layers than that. Admittedly, headless cms probably make your job more difficult - if you have a custom front end how do you know if it's headless wordpress or some other system but I'm sure you have a handle on that.
We have added some calculations and improvements. Now you can explore web technologies by company and find out which companies' technologies are most widely used on the Internet. Check it out: https://www.wmtips.com/technologies/companies/
