Companies Using TYPO3

We detect TYPO3 on 92,289 domains, including Continental Careers, Philips, Lufthansa Aerial Services. A detection means the technology is present on that domain, which for large organisations is often a single storefront or subdomain rather than a company-wide deployment. Among domains we matched to a company with a resolved industry, the most common is Construction (5.63%).

We detect 92,289 domains running TYPO3 across our monthly crawl of live business domains. Company data could be matched for 76,694 of them (83.1%), and every company-size, industry and country breakdown on this page describes that matched subset rather than the full detected base. A further 2,255 domains carried a TYPO3 detection previously and no longer do.

TYPO3 holds 0.6% of the CMS & Website Builders category, ranking #11. This is a share of the domains we detect running a platform in this category — not a share of all websites, and not a share of spending — so it is not directly comparable to figures published on other denominators.

The top alternatives to TYPO3 include WordPress (62.27% market share), Wix (8.49% market share), Squarespace (6.66% market share), GoDaddy Website Builder (4.65% market share) — measured as a share of the domains we detect running a platform in this category.

Germany leads with 57,095 matched TYPO3 domains, followed by Switzerland (4,918), Austria (3,713), United States (2,046), France (1,214). These are counts within the 76,694 domains we could match to a company record, not the full detected base.

The most common company size is 1-10 employees, representing 55.84% of the TYPO3 domains we could match to a company record and size — a subset of 76,694 matched companies, not of all 92,289 detected domains. This is followed by 11-50 employees (21.31%) and 51-200 employees (11.38%).

Among the TYPO3 domains we could match to a company with a known founding date, the largest group was founded in the Pre-1980 (34.16%), followed by the 2000s (17.85%). That matched subset is drawn from 76,694 companies and is not representative of all 92,289 detected domains. This suggests TYPO3 is most popular among established companies.

The ideal TYPO3 customer is: Company Size: 1-50 employees, Location: Germany, Switzerland, or Austria, Industry: Construction, machinery, or public sector, Founded: Before 1980, Stack: Self-hosted on Apache, with consent tooling — based on our analysis of 76,694 enriched companies at TechnologyChecker.io.

Both are open-source content management systems, and that is most of what they share. WordPress is the largest platform in this category by a wide margin, at 9,519,706 domains and a 62.27% share, built around fast setup and a plugin ecosystem. TYPO3 sits at 92,289 domains and 0.60%, and is built for multilingual content, multisite management and granular editorial permissions in the core rather than through extensions. TYPO3 costs more to set up and less to operate at scale; WordPress is the reverse. The switching data reflects that split: 633 domains moved from TYPO3 to WordPress since March 2026 and 296 moved the other way.

Yes. TYPO3 is free and open-source under the GPL v2 license. You can download, install, customise and redistribute it without paying license fees. The costs come from hosting, development and maintenance. Unlike SaaS platforms, TYPO3 has no per-user pricing or feature-gated tiers. The TYPO3 Association funds development through membership dues and sponsorships.

Yes. We detect TYPO3 on 92,289 domains in the August 2026 reading, up from 85,240 in June. Detected users include Philips, Lufthansa Aerial Services, Societe Generale SA, Hugo Boss Group, Freudenberg Group, Strabag International, Leoni AG, Rhenus Group and quebec.ca. Its share of the CMS and Website Builders category is 0.60% and fell over the same period, but that is because the category grew faster than TYPO3 did, not because TYPO3 lost domains.

TYPO3 v13 LTS is the current long-term-support release, launched on 15 October 2024, adding custom content types, Fluid v4 templating and site sets for multisite management. One caveat about this page: our detection matches TYPO3's generator meta tag but does not read the release number out of it, and no other signal in the rule carries a version. We can tell you that a domain runs TYPO3; we cannot tell you which version, so this profile publishes no version breakdown.

Yes, more so than WordPress or a hosted builder. G2 reviewers name complexity and the learning curve as the main drawback. TYPO3 uses TypoScript for configuration, Fluid for templating and Extbase for extensions, and most organisations bring in a certified agency from the official partner network rather than learning it in-house (source: typo3.com/partners). That cost shows up in who runs it: 55.84% of matched companies have 1 to 10 employees, and a large share of those are the agencies doing the implementing. Once configured, the editing interface is aimed at non-technical staff, which is why it holds up in large editorial teams.

The realistic replacements are the other self-hosted open-source systems: Drupal and Joomla. The larger platforms in this category, WordPress (9,519,706 domains), Wix (1,297,463), Squarespace (1,017,426), GoDaddy Website Builder (710,312) and Webflow (262,281), are mostly hosted builders solving a different problem, and four of the five give up the data sovereignty that much of TYPO3's public sector and industrial base chose it for. WordPress with multilingual and multisite plugins is the common substitute in practice: 633 domains have moved that way since March 2026, against 296 moving from WordPress to TYPO3.

TYPO3 was created by the Danish developer Kasper Skarhoj in 1997, but the TYPO3 Association is based in Switzerland and the agency and developer community grew up in Germany and Austria. German-speaking organisations have a strong preference for self-hosted, open-source software for data sovereignty and GDPR reasons, and the detection data shows it: 57,095 of TYPO3's country-resolved domains are in Germany, 4,918 in Switzerland and 3,713 in Austria, against 2,046 in the United States. The stack agrees with the story, with Matomo Analytics on 12.97% of TYPO3 domains and six separate consent management platforms each above 1%.

Yes. Multilingual and multisite management is TYPO3's main differentiator. It supports unlimited languages with translation workflows, localisation and language fallback chains in the core rather than through extensions, and a single installation can manage many sites under one editorial and permissions model. That is the usual reason large European organisations pick it: Philips, Societe Generale SA, Strabag International and Rhenus Group all operate across multiple countries and languages, and all appear in our detected set.

Both are self-hosted open-source systems aimed at organisations that outgrow a simple CMS, and both compete for the same public sector and higher education work. The clearest difference is geography. TYPO3's base is overwhelmingly German-speaking, with 57,095 of its country-resolved domains in Germany, 4,918 in Switzerland and 3,713 in Austria against 2,046 in the United States, while Drupal has a much stronger English-language footprint. TYPO3 also ships multisite and translation workflows in the core, where Drupal leans more on contributed modules.

Among TYPO3 domains where we resolved an industry, Construction leads at 5.63% (3,076 domains), followed by Business Consulting and Services (4.7%), Hospitality (3.28%) and Retail (3.25%). What sets TYPO3 apart is what comes next: Machinery Manufacturing at 1,657 domains and Government Administration at 1,488, fifth and sixth, then Medical Practices (1,478), Individual and Family Services (1,450) and Hospitals and Health Care (1,354). No industry exceeds 6%, so TYPO3 is horizontal, but that concentration in manufacturing, public administration and healthcare is unusual for a CMS.

Yes. TYPO3 v13 improved its headless capabilities, letting developers use TYPO3 as a content backend while delivering content through APIs to any frontend framework. The headless approach lets organisations keep TYPO3's editorial workflow and access control while modernising their frontend stack independently.

The largest detected users include Philips, Lufthansa Aerial Services, Societe Generale SA, Hugo Boss Group, Freudenberg Group, Strabag International, Leoni AG, Continental Careers, Rhenus Group, Aster DM Healthcare, quebec.ca and Colombia's national university at unal.edu.co. Nine of those twelve are European and seven are in Germany or Austria. A detection means the TYPO3 signature is present on that domain, which inside a large group is often a careers site, a regional portal or a subsidiary brand rather than the flagship domain.

Five signals identify it: a generator meta tag naming TYPO3, typo3conf or typo3temp paths inside link, image and script tags, the webpackChunkTYPO3Webpack JavaScript global, a /typo3/ URL, and a request for the file /typo3/sysext/core/Resources/Public/Images/typo3_orange.svg. The last is the strongest, because it is an active request for a file that a TYPO3 installation serves at a known path rather than a string read out of the HTML. A site can strip the generator tag and rename its asset directories, and that file still answers.

Slowly, and from a small part of the base. Since we began tracking in March 2026, 633 domains have moved from TYPO3 to WordPress and 296 have moved from WordPress to TYPO3, a net loss of 337 against a base of 92,289 domains. Other corridors are marginal: 43 domains to Webflow, 34 to Wix and 10 to Squarespace. Separately, 2,255 domains dropped their TYPO3 detection over the same period. None of that describes a platform in decline: TYPO3's domain count rose from 85,240 in June to 92,289 in August.
