According to the latest data from 2021, 37% of all websites worldwide use WordPress and 60% of all websites that use a CMS for content management are built on WP. For reference, WordPress is 13 times more widely used than Joomla!, the world's second most used CMS.

In total, more than 455 million sites are using WordPress in 2021 and this number is growing. 

This growth is explained by the evolution of the platform itself. Although WordPress was initially launched as a platform for blogs, today it is used by all types of websites, from online shops to institutional sites. Companies such as Bloomberg, Sony Music, BBC America and even the official website of Sweden use WordPress.

The wide worldwide use of WordPress is no coincidence: this platform is without a doubt the simplest, most practical and interesting solution to create a website today.

As a CMS (content management system), this platform allows the user to create complete websites, create and edit content pages and menus, as well as manage multimedia content such as images and videos. 

In terms of SEO, there are also several advantages: WordPress already comes "pre-optimised" for search engines like Google. In addition, it also has some plugin options that can help you improve the performance of your site. 

Finally, as it is open-source software, the platform is constantly evolving, with several annual updates, particularly in terms of security. Thus, WordPress is always ahead of the market of content management systems.

WordPress is available in 60 languages, but 71% of the published content is in English. The platform also has 54,000 plugins that will help you personalise and improve your site.
