We received updated data from W3Techs regarding the market share of CMS and DXP on the Internet, that is, which are the most popular CMS in December of the year 2025 and, although there are no position changes in the top 10 CMS, we do find some interesting variations.

Without further delay, we offer you the data from W3Techs:

It should be clarified that the data referring to usage takes into account that a high percentage of websites, around 28%, do not use a CMS that W3Techs monitors or it has not been possible to detect it. The market share data is what does not take into account those undetected CMS.

The data, which refers to the whole world as a whole, is consistent with the market trends observed in recent months. Unfortunately, WordPress, the popular open source CMS loses two tenths in both usage and market share, which represents a large number of websites.

Also consistent with the data from previous months is the continued growth of Shopify, an e commerce specialist CMS that is easy to use, powerful, and modern and that continues to increase its market share thanks also to its business model, which makes it possible to start with hardly any costs.

Squarespace remains the same, but Wix does register some variation in usage. The WordPress block editor, now mature, emerged a few years ago in response to these two CMS and the add ons Elementor, Divi, and so many others.

Open source continues its decline. We have already commented on what happened with WordPress, but Joomla also registers some decrease. The rest of the table remains the same. To compare, the previous market share data can be consulted.

Almost more interesting than looking at month over month variations is recalling the data from a year ago. WordPress, for example, enjoyed a market share of 62% and now, only 60,2%. The biggest leap made by a CMS in year over year data is undoubtedly Webflow, which goes from eighth to sixth position. Tilda and Duda also emerge strongly this year pushing PrestaShop and Google Systems out of the top 10.

Joomla, Drupal, and Adobe remain in the top 10, but they register sharp drops in market share. These would be the data from a year ago:
