WordPress
WordPress is an open-source content management system written in PHP. It began in 2003 as a blogging tool and now powers business sites, magazines, portfolios and, with plugins, online stores. Most installs run on ordinary shared or managed hosting; WordPress.com from Automattic is the hosted variant.
WordPress sites range from one-person shops and local service companies to universities, newspapers and corporate marketing sites. The typical owner is a small or medium business that pays an agency or freelancer to build and maintain the site, controls its own hosting and can install plugins, so it is reachable with any product that ships as a plugin or integration.
The list is a core resource for plugin and theme vendors, WordPress hosting companies, maintenance and security services, SEO tools, backup and performance products, and agencies that specialise in the platform. New WordPress sites are fresh projects with open decisions about hosting, plugins and marketing tools; dropped sites usually mark a move to a hosted builder or a headless setup and are leads for migration services.
WordPress is the platform behind 21,965,117 websites, which is 50% of all CMS detections we record. Websites built on WordPress are most often served from United States (7,487,484), Germany (2,860,525) and France (1,124,356), and .com, .de and .org are the most common domain endings.

Questions about WordPress websites
How many websites are built on WordPress?
As of November 2, 2026, 21,965,117 websites are built on WordPress. The number is recalculated every night from our own crawl of the web, so it follows real launches and migrations.
Who buys lists of WordPress websites?
Agencies and freelancers who build, maintain or migrate WordPress sites, vendors of plugins, themes and hosting for WordPress, and anyone selling a tool that integrates with it: every website on the list is a business that has already chosen the platform and keeps paying to run it.
Where are WordPress websites hosted?
United States leads with 7,487,484 websites, followed by Germany (2,860,525) and France (1,124,356). The country is where the website is served from; sites on a hosted platform show the platform's country.
How do I find websites that recently moved to WordPress?
The New tab on this page lists websites where our crawler saw WordPress for the first time in the last days, newest first: new launches and migrations from other platforms. The Dropped tab shows websites that moved away from WordPress. Both lists download with a subscription and are refreshed every morning.
How do I get a list of WordPress websites?
A free BetaScan account downloads a {sample_rows}-row sample. A subscription from $69 a month gives the full list of 21,965,117 domains, or a dataset with emails, phones, country, hosting and ranks, filtered by country, TLD, rank and registration date. The lists of websites that recently moved to or away from WordPress are included. See pricing.
How does BetaScan detect WordPress?
Our crawler fetches the homepage of every domain we track and matches the page and its response headers against the signatures of 7,636 technologies. A website counts as using WordPress when its latest crawl shows the signature; when the signature disappears, the site moves to the dropped list.
How can you tell a website runs on WordPress?
WordPress leaves many traces in the page source: stylesheets and scripts loaded from /wp-content/ and /wp-includes/, a meta generator tag with the WordPress version, a link to the REST API at /wp-json/, RSD and oEmbed links in the head, and body classes such as home page-template-default. The login page at /wp-login.php and the admin area at /wp-admin/ exist on nearly every install. Our crawler matches these patterns in the homepage HTML.
Is WordPress used by large companies or small ones?
Mostly small and medium businesses, but not only. Many publishers, universities and enterprise marketing departments run WordPress for their public sites, often on managed hosting with a custom theme. To separate the segments, filter the dataset by traffic rank or country, or combine this list with signals of budget such as an enterprise analytics tool, a paid CDN plan or a premium page builder.
What does a new WordPress site mean for a seller?
A site that appears in the new list has just launched or has just moved to WordPress. Its owner is choosing plugins, a backup routine, a security service, an email tool and often an agency for ongoing work. That window is short, so the new list is most useful for vendors of plugins, hosting, maintenance plans and marketing services who want to reach the owner before those decisions settle.
