: Where can I find some CMS usage statistics? Does anyone know a place where I can find some usage statistics on different CMSs? Also, do folks actually believe the massive massive Drupal share

@Shelton105

I've found these stats to be the best:

w3techs.com/technologies/overview/content_management/all

If you click any of the CMS systems listed, it'll tell you the the 10 most popular sites using that CMS. The page also breaks down what % of each version is being used.

Here's an overview of how they did the research, which to me makes sense:

The link you posted appears to be fairly inaccurate as pointed out here among other places (Drupal is over-counted). Plus it ignores Wordpress which is perfectly usable as a CMS.

Although unscientific, I think the best place is Google Trends since it clearly shows which CMS have the most buzz around them. Trends for Wordpress, Joomla, Drupal and Expression Engine shows roughly this:


Worldwide: 50% Wordpress, 36% Joomla, 12% Drupal, 2% EE.
United States: 61% Wordpress, 21% Joomla, 15% Drupal, 3% EE.


However all four of those systems are well-supported so I wouldn't use any figures like these to decide on a CMS - choose whichever one best meets your needs.
