Companies Using Elementor

Elementor is unusually easy to sanity-check, because one answer is known in advance: every Elementor site is a WordPress site. Our October 2026 crawl finds Elementor on 3,300,510 live domains, and in a 10% sample of them we also see WordPress on 99.41%. That gives me some confidence in the rest of this profile, which rests on 2,108,904 domains we matched to a company record, a 63.9% match rate.

How many sites run Elementor?

Elementor's homepage says it powers over 22 million sites, and its WordPress.org page lists 10+ million active installations. Our 3,300,510 doesn't contradict either. Install counts include staging copies and sites nobody outside can reach; a sites-built count includes sites that no longer exist. We count live domains where Elementor is visible in the page. Against the 10,011,982 WordPress domains in the same data, that makes Elementor 32.97% of WordPress.

The monthly line rose from 2,641,088 in June to 3,300,510 in October. I wouldn't sell that as 25% growth. The set of domains we crawl turns over every month, with dead sites dropping out and new ones added, and our detection signals widen over time. The June to July step, 15.9%, is almost exactly the median step across the 431 technology profiles we chart over both months (16.3%). What I'd take from the line is a very large base with real turnover: 315,895 domains have dropped Elementor since we began tracking drops on 16 March 2026.

"Elementor says 22 million sites. We count 3.3 million live domains. Both can be true, because they measure different things, and only the live domain is something a sales team can reach." - Emma Davies, Data Analyst at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales Signal: This is a mature installed base, so treat a detection as a qualifier (WordPress, page-built, probably agency-made) rather than a timing signal. For timing, watch the drops. A domain that removes Elementor is usually rebuilding, closing or briefly slipping out of our detection, and a quick look tells you which.

Who builds with it

The customer base is small. 64.09% of matched companies with a known size have 1 to 10 employees and 23.78% have 11 to 50, so 87.87% have 50 staff or fewer. Most are young, too: the 2010s account for 38.26% of founding dates and the 2020s for 24.65%. This is the brochure-site market. A business needs a credible website, an agency or the founder builds it once, and nobody touches it much afterwards.

Large organisations show up, but on single sites. We loaded every big name quoted here in October 2026. Vodafone, HP, Concentrix, Arcadis, Bristol Myers Squibb and Corteva run Elementor on careers or jobs subdomains; Pizza Hut on its franchising site; 7-Eleven on its fleet-card site. Kroger, Goodwill and Al-Futtaim are the exceptions, with Elementor on their main corporate sites (for Kroger, thekrogerco.com).

Sales Signal: Inside a large account, an Elementor detection usually marks one team, often HR or a regional marketing group, with a site built outside the main web stack. That team buys careers-site tools, forms, hosting and agency time. Don't pitch the CIO on the strength of a careers subdomain.

Less American than WordPress itself

The United States is 18.83% of matched Elementor domains. That's lower than on WordPress's own profile (24.22%), and well below Divi (29.42%), Webflow (34.57%) or Wix (35.17%) on theirs. Brazil is second at 7.75%, against 4.6% on WordPress's profile, and India's 5.97% compares with 3.66% there. The US, UK, Australia and Canada add up to 30.97%, so more than two in three matched Elementor companies sit outside the big English-speaking markets.

Industries are spread as widely. Construction leads at 4.57%, then business consulting (3.92%), IT services (3.85%) and advertising services (3.49%), LinkedIn's label for agencies, and the top ten cover only 28.75% between them. Construction, real estate (2.55%) and medical practices (1.95%) share one thing: a physical address and a phone number the website exists to get people to ring.

Sales Signal: Brazil (163,458 matched domains), Germany (124,585) and Spain (101,197) are each big enough to run as a separate campaign, in the local language. Advertising services is where the agencies sit, and one agency account can bring a portfolio of client sites with it.

Where sites go when they leave

Three switching corridors pass our tests. Webflow is the main destination, with 1,718 domains moving from Elementor to it and 716 coming back, about 2.4 to 1, and 1,254 against 520 in the last 90 days. The flow is net outward, though far from a rout. Of the 4,213 domains that ever ran both, 1,669 still do (39.6%), 0.4 points under the 40% line where we'd stop calling it a switch at all.

Bricks, another WordPress builder, is the sharper case: 971 domains out, 138 in, about seven to one. Hostinger Website Builder runs the other way, sending Elementor 416 domains for the 199 it takes. Divi and WPBakery don't appear at all, because most domains that ran Elementor alongside one of them still run both. On WordPress, builders pile up on the same site more often than they replace each other.

"All three corridors together come to 2,888 domains, and Elementor has lost 315,895 since March. Most sites that drop it don't land on a builder we can name." - Emma Davies, Data Analyst at TechnologyChecker.io

Sales Signal: If you sell Webflow migrations, the flow is real but small: 404 domains moved from Elementor to Webflow in the last 30 days. If you sell to Elementor users, Bricks is the retention risk inside WordPress, and Hostinger Website Builder customers moving to WordPress are a small inbound source.

What the stack says

Beyond WordPress (99.41%), the stack is mostly the libraries WordPress and Elementor load anyway: jQuery on 96.87%, jQuery Migrate on 93.12%, core-js on 88.35%. Swiper, on 56.07%, is the clearest Elementor fingerprint, since the plugin ships its own copy in its plugin folder. Web servers split three ways between Apache (26.85%), LiteSpeed (21.39%) and Nginx (21.26%). All of these come from a 10% sample of the 3,291,700 clean live domains.

Consent tools are thin. CookieYes leads at 6.91% and Complianz follows at 6.2%, and the six consent tools in our stack data add up to 18.95% even if no site ran two of them. Yet 23.87% of matched domains are in Germany, Spain, France, Italy, the Netherlands or Poland.

Sales Signal: The consent gap is the most concrete upsell in this data. Fewer than one in five Elementor domains shows any of those six tools.

What reviewers complain about

G2 reviewers praise ease of use most (105 mentions). The complaints are plugin issues (27), slow loading (27), price rises across tiers (24), limits in the free version (21) and support (20). Our data can't test the pricing complaint, since we don't split free from Pro. It does fit the slow-loading one: jQuery Migrate, a compatibility layer for old jQuery code, still loads on 93.12% of Elementor domains, and Swiper on more than half.

Sales Signal: Performance is the pain you can sell against with evidence. Pitch speed work or caching to the Elementor sites that carry both jQuery Migrate and Swiper, not to the whole list. The support complaints give agencies that sell a support retainer an opening with the small businesses that make up most of this base.

Key takeaways

1. 3,300,510 live domains in October 2026, 32.97% of WordPress.
2. No category share or rank: it runs on WordPress, so ranking it beside WordPress would double count.
3. Small: 64.09% of matched companies have ten or fewer staff.
4. Global: the US is only 18.83% of matched domains; Brazil is second at 7.75%.
5. Losing sites to Webflow and Bricks, gaining from Hostinger Website Builder, all small next to 315,895 drops since March.

Putting the list to work

For outreach, open with something the prospect can check in a minute: "Your site runs WordPress with Elementor. We couldn't find a consent banner from any of the common tools on it. If you have visitors in the EU, that's worth fixing before it's raised with you."

For targeting, filter Elementor domains on TechnologyChecker.io to 11 to 200 employees (31.75% of matched companies with a known size) in Construction, Business Consulting or Real Estate, then exclude domains already running CookieYes or Complianz. For a competitive angle, the 404 domains that moved to Webflow and the 236 that moved to Bricks in the last 30 days have recently changed builders, a natural moment to raise hosting, forms and analytics.

Our full Elementor dataset covers 3,300,510 live domains, 2,108,904 of them matched to a company with size, industry, country and founding year, refreshed every month at TechnologyChecker.io.
