Marcus Miller says, “If you run a small or local business, there is a good chance that your site is built in WordPress.

In fact, statistics from BuiltWith.com would indicate that WordPress powers about 50 percent of the entire internet. The exact numbers vary, with other statistics showing WordPress powering 22 percent of new active sites or 58.9 percent of sites where CMS is known.

Whatever way you look at it, that’s a lot of WordPress websites.

WordPress is not just used for the likes of food blogs and local businesses, though — brands and huge websites use the platform.

Further stats from BuiltWith.com indicate that 40 percent of the top 100,000 websites use WordPress, and this number jumps to 50 percent when we look at the top million sites. Businesses like TechCrunch, The New Yorker, BBC America, and even the official Star Wars Blog use WordPress“.
