Yes, wordPress holds a 63% share of the CMS market based on TechnologyChecker.io's monthly crawl of 50M+ domains. Its closest competitors, Squarespace (18.4%) and Wix (17.9%), are growing but still hold less than a third of WordPress's share. No other CMS has crossed the 4% mark.

Yes, our database includes IBM, Samsung, Shell, Oracle, Siemens, HP, General Electric, and Target among Fortune 500-level companies running WordPress. Most enterprise deployments use WordPress for blogs, career portals, or microsites rather than the primary corporate website, which typically runs on a custom platform.

WordPress handles enterprise content needs well, particularly for blogs and microsites. Companies like IBM, Vodafone, and SAP deploy it as a content layer alongside their main platforms. However. Only 0.3% of WordPress customers have 10,001+ employees based on our data, so its core strength remains with small and mid-sized businesses.

WordPress's active domain count dropped from 5.8 million in February 2025 to 4.67 million by July 2025, a 19% decline. This is the first sustained contraction in its 20-year history. It still holds 63% of the CMS market, but simpler sites are migrating to Squarespace and Wix at an accelerating pace.

Three factors drive continued WordPress adoption: its open-source model (zero licensing cost), an ecosystem of 60,000+ plugins, and a 20-year talent pool. Our data shows 14,375 companies switched from Joomla to WordPress, and 5,837 from Drupal, confirming WordPress as the default upgrade path from legacy CMS platforms.

According to TechnologyChecker.io's enriched company data, Advertising Services (3.81%), Retail (3.72%), and Construction (3.12%) lead WordPress adoption. The distribution is remarkably flat: no single industry exceeds 4%, making WordPress the most horizontally adopted CMS across virtually every business sector.

No, while WordPress started as a blogging platform, our detection data shows 22.45% of WordPress sites also run WooCommerce for ecommerce. Enterprise customers like Samsung, Oracle, and Coca-Cola use it for news portals, career sites, and product microsites. Blogs still make up a large portion, but the platform serves diverse content needs.

WordPress.org is the free, open-source software you install on your own hosting. WordPress.com is Automattic's hosted service with managed plans. TechnologyChecker.io's detection data covers both, but self-hosted WordPress.org installations dominate our enterprise and mid-market segments. WordPress.com skews toward personal sites and small blogs.

However, Capterra reviews (5,000+) show 77% negative sentiment around speed and plugin bloat, suggesting performance depends heavily on hosting quality and plugin management.

WordPress core is regularly updated, but G2 reviews show 43 mentions of security concerns tied to outdated plugins and themes.

Regular updates and managed hosting mitigate the primary risks.

WordPress holds 63% of the CMS market versus Squarespace's 18.4% based on our crawl data.

WordPress (63% CMS market share) dwarfs Wix (17.9%), but Wix is gaining ground. Our migration data shows a net loss of 3,587 companies from WordPress to Wix.
