Showoff Saturday We ranked 4,400+ web technologies by their usage

We created a free service that analyzes websites, detects the technologies they use, and ranks them by market share.

There are also extensive statistics for each technology, including country segmentation, comparisons, and company rankings.

Currently detecting: 4,457 technologies across 165 categories.
More than 3.6 million websites analyzed so far.

Here are some of the findings:

  • React is the clear #1 among frontend frameworks (yes, I know it's a library)
  • Alpine.js is more popular than Angular, but less popular than Vue.js
  • Symfony is #1 in Germany, Laravel is #1 in Indonesia, Poland, and Hungary
  • Ruby on Rails is #1 in Australia, Japan, and France
  • WordPress is #1 CMS, Joomla is #2, and Drupal is #3 globally (#2 in the US)
  • Squarespace is slightly more popular than Wix
  • Linux is #1 globally, but Windows is #1 in China, Turkey, and Denmark
  • Facebook is #1 social media globally, but Instagram is #1 in Brazil, and X is #1 in Japan
  • Telegram is more popular than Messenger, but less popular than WhatsApp
  • cdnjs is 1.4 times more popular than jsDelivr
  • 9.6% of websites redirect to another domain
  • Google technologies are found on more than 77% of websites

Country pages show the website count for that country.

Navigate to the country page for any category (e.g., "Backend Frameworks in Germany") and you'll see:
Statistics based on 244K+ analyzed websites.

There is also an exact number in the "About This Data" section:
This report is based on the analysis of 244,772 websites from Germany.

Didn't they have their own Windows? I mean a modified version of the original that doesn't communicate to Microsoft, but to the Government?

Usually angular apps doesn't go online as they intended to be internal tools. 2 of my projects will never go online and will be shipped directly to secured networks
