WordPress has surpassed the competition in the CMS field in the past five years. Most readers may be familiar with the statistics that currently account for nearly a quarter of the latest web. The platform will also be unstable at 25% of the display. Matt Mullenweg, co-founder of WordPress, said that the following goals may be more than 50% market share, which may be an expansion goal, but it cannot be ruled out as a potentially achievable long-term goal. But do many of the real beasts of the online jungle now rely on WordPress to strengthen the site? We decided to categorize the first 250 Alexa web properties to answer this question immediately. The
But before looking at the results, let’s take a quick look at where WordPress is currently in the grand plan of online things and what kind of competition it faces. The location of WordPress WordPress looks like a software that democratizes web publishing or accounts for a large part of online traffic, so it has not come out. In 2003, as the fork of a little-known blog platform that almost disappeared, although the initial growth was not smooth, the project soon began to obtain substantive impetus. As of 2010, the platform has been successfully established, accounting for more than 10% of the market share. Since then, many major releases have consolidated WordPress’s position as a major player in the online world and moved it to the top of the CMS tree. The
Matt Mullenweg, who was recently appointed CEO of automated, has been WordPress for the past year. COM and word press. Org seems to have added impetus, and has been interviewed many times about the goal of 50% market share. Word press does not have its own fields. With the emergence of new technologies, the emergence of many competitors with abundant funds in the past five years is also accompanied by this rise. Therefore, it will be interesting to observe whether the goals achieved so far can be maintained. In the early days of WordPress, an increasingly competitive environment, the competition with other open source CMS systems (usually based on PHP) such as Drupal and Joomla was very prominent, but the nature of the competition has changed dramatically in recent years. The
Fully managed solutions such as Shopify, Wix, Weebly and squarespace all start with no old-fashioned problems and considerable financial support. They have made great progress in their respective markets. In terms of equation publishing, new players such as medium and ghost are also exerting pressure, while existing platforms such as Facebook and Tumblr are in fierce competition to attract the attention of potential WordPress users. All in all, more and more companies want to have very similar types of users in many ways. The
Issues in the next five years include: In the face of fierce competition, can WordPress expand to almost unexplored areas such as enterprise space and E-commerce while maintaining its existing user base? At present, the questionnaire survey on the top 250 websites seems to be a good place to start. Top 250 websites classification our approach is to survey the top 250 global websites in Alex’s report in july2015 to determine how many websites rely mainly on WordPress. We are here to talk about the core site being completely WordPress driven. This is not just used in the occasional blog hosted by the fuzzy part of the network. The
The first thing we notice is that WordPress has a lot of room to grow in terms of truly invading the global web elite. Among the top 100 sites, 1 site is wordpress:wordpress. Com (39th)
whole WordPress, of course. The location of COM itself has left a deep impression, but it also emphasizes that the real independent implementation of the platform is relatively insufficient. One of the interesting things about the top 100 is the number of non English websites (about 40% of the list), which shows the need for WordPress to continue to focus on localization and internationalization. Perhaps surprisingly, out of all 250 top-level websites, the other complete WordPress website you can find is WordPress. Org ranked 214. The
However, there are four other sites that use WordPress to provide most of the content, all of which are located in the publishing area. Let them do it. 1. the New York Times ranks 111th in the Alexa list, WordPress. The org showcase page is very prominent, but WordPress is mainly used to enhance the blog content of the website, not the whole website itself. Some people have suggested that WordPress can handle the entire website, but this in itself is an impressive guarantee. As recently described by times technicians in the scene of viewing settings, it is more likely to continue to use as part of the entire tool chain. The
2. Forbes androg Forbes. Com ranks 158th in the Alex list, but like the New York Times, it mainly relies on word press to handle all aspects of blog content. At present, the dependence on the platform is not clear. In addition to using mongodb, they also run their own CMS system Falcon to provide power for most sites, which may or may not use the article items on the side of WordPress under the hood. 3. the Washington Post ranks 210th in the list. Like the famous American media, it relies on WordPress to provide some content rather than all content. The
The developer Yuri Victor made an excellent demonstration of how post used WordPress to handle many parts of blog content in 2013. Since then, the Washington Post team seems to have moved significantly in the direction of launching their own solutions. 4. the daily telegraph the Daily Telegraph is one of the best daily newspapers in Britain, ranking 234Th in Alexa top 250 and WordPress. Org showcase. The story here is familiar. It is used to provide a core part of word press instead of supporting the entire website. In this case, mytelegraph is the buddypress based social networking component of the primary site. The
Conclusion we are too used to hearing how WordPress dominates the online environment. It is shocking that there are almost no pure WordPress sites in 250 sites around the world. But WordPress. COM and word press. Org shows the power of the platform. Other CMS will not appear in the list in this way. In addition, it is a slim choice. There are a few (of course, top-level) publishing sites that can use WordPress to enhance blogs. I would like to know your opinion on the survey results. Do you think WordPress is likely to break the end of the market? If not, why not? If you think you are ready to jump, what do you think you need to get there?
