We are going to update the global CMS market share data. Month to month there is usually little difference, so it is better to analyze trends. WordPress (WP) remains the clear king of the Internet with 43.2% usage and more than 60% market share, but in this last figure it drops 0.2% month over month.

Orchestration is redefining the role of CMSs
Dries Buytaert, founder of Drupal, writes on his blog, which is always a source of strong articles, about what he calls orchestration and how it is gaining importance in the marketing and technology space. The big shift is that the tech stack itself now matters less because it is beginning to act as a network thanks precisely to orchestration, so that previously disconnected software pieces can operate as connected nodes.
(more…)Ollie Menu Designer causes a major stir in the WordPress scene
The new Ollie Menu Designer plugin has caused quite a stir in the scene of the popular open source CMS WordPress, since it arrives to solve (totally free) a major shortcoming of the current block editor regarding menus. Until now there has been a valid menu system in WordPress core. You can create menus and dropdowns and it works, but what was really needed was the ability to add more things to menus and not just links in the way many other CMS do (mega menus).
(more…)MCP for AI, now enabled in WordPress

Someone I do not know said that the best things in life are not things. A book I read recently told me something similar by advising me not to invest my leisure time in things but in experiences. Things come and go, they deteriorate, they make you suffer, especially if they are very expensive and demand a lot of maintenance and attention, but experiences leave indelible marks in the memories of those who live them.

AInnovación 2025 took place the 24th of September, the great celebration of artificial intelligence (AI) and content that CMS MAG organizes every year. If last year’s edition was a discovery for many, this edition has been the moment of consolidation despite the bad luck that Google, despite having an office in Spain since 2003 (according to what I checked in chatGPT), waited until 2025 to hold its first Publisher Day in Spain, among other events that directly competed with those showcased at AInnovación 2025.
(more…)AI bot managers, the new trend inside CMS
Bots, the share of Internet traffic generated by machines rather than humans, have become a huge problem, largely driven by the rise of web scraping, a technique aimed at extracting information from websites in an automated way. In recent times it has grown considerably thanks to the spread of generative AI companies, so the question is what to do about it.
(more…)Which CMS should you choose after WordPress?
