WordPress Market Share as a Metric of Success

Last updated on September 4, 2018 by Sal Ferrarello

As of this writing, WordPress has a market share of approximately 31%. I often hear people referencing the “goal” of WordPress reaching 51% marketshare. I don’t understand this goal.

I’m a big WordPress fan. My work is almost exclusively with WordPress websites. It is a great tool and serves my clients well but the idea that more people need to uses WordPress or people need to choose it over another option doesn’t make sense to me.

  • Competition is Good for the Consumer
  • The larger WordPress becomes, the more globally catastrophic a security vulnerability becomes
  • It feels like a greedy goal.
