Our crawl detects Font Awesome on 5,747,471 live sites as of August 2026, and we matched 3,495,049 of them to company records. That makes it the second most widely deployed font and icon service on the web, behind the Google Font API, and the largest single technology in this group of profiles.

No. The Google Font API appears on 11,069,800 sites against Font Awesome's 5,747,471, so roughly twice as many. They are not really competitors though: Google supplies typefaces and Font Awesome supplies icons, and 28.64% of Font Awesome sites load both services on the same page. One supplies typefaces and the other supplies icons, so most sites treat them as complements rather than choosing between them.

Almost every kind, which is the point. 63.44% of detected sites belong to companies with ten staff or fewer, and no industry passes 4.2% of the base. Construction leads on 4.17%, then retail 3.97%, IT services 3.94% and real estate 3.44%. The distribution looks like the web itself. That flatness is itself the finding, because a default shipped inside themes spreads evenly rather than concentrating.

McDonald's, IBM, Infosys, Capgemini, Wipro, HCLTech, DHL and TP all serve pages that load Font Awesome. IT services and consulting firms cluster near the top of the list because they build and host large numbers of client properties, and the icon set travels with their templates. None of them selected it through a procurement process, which is worth remembering when reading the list.

Many do not. WordPress appears on 22.64% of Font Awesome sites and jQuery on 40.6%, and a large number of themes and admin templates bundle the icon set by default. A detection therefore proves the library is being served, not that a developer evaluated it against alternatives and picked it.

We match several front-end patterns: the icon class naming convention in the page markup, stylesheet links containing the library path, its CDN and kit configuration objects in JavaScript, and script sources. Because the class convention is distinctive, detection works whether the library is self-hosted or loaded from a content delivery network.

Because that is when the product shipped. Our long-run archive carries a flat handful of domains dating back to 2005, seven years before Font Awesome 1.0 was released, which is a backfill artifact rather than real adoption. We trim the series to October 2012, the launch month, so the page does not publish a false start date.

No. The dip after April 2025 is our archive feed narrowing its own coverage in the months before it ended, which you can confirm because the total domain count falls in step with the active count. Our current live crawl puts Font Awesome at 5,747,471 sites, its highest recorded level.

The genuine icon alternatives are much smaller than Font Awesome. Bootstrap Icons appear on 1.06% of the category, Ionicons on 0.84% and Bunny Fonts on 0.54%. Twitter Emoji shows up on 4.42% but solves a different problem. No competing icon set has reached even a tenth of Font Awesome's footprint.

Both self-hosted and over a content delivery network, with no single dominant route. Among sites in our sample, Cloudflare appears on 12.21% and cdnjs on 9.91%, while many others serve the files from their own origin as part of a theme bundle. Our detection covers both delivery methods. Version information is often embedded in the stylesheet path, which lets us record which release a site is serving.

The conventional web stack rather than the modern one. jQuery appears on 40.6% of sampled sites, the Google Font API on 28.64%, Google Analytics on 23.23% and WordPress on 22.64%. Apache and Nginx split most of the hosting between them at 12.18% and 9.62% respectively. Apache serves 12.18% of these sites and Nginx a further 9.62%, splitting most of the hosting between them.

We have observed 345,575 domains stop serving Font Awesome since our crawler began covering it in March 2026. Against 5.7 million active sites that is a small share, and much of it reflects sites being rebuilt or retired rather than teams deliberately replacing the icon set with a competitor. We publish no switching table here because the leading alternative co-occurs on over a quarter of sites.
