WordPress and WooCommerce – Why They Matter So Much on Today’s Web
Posted: Thu Apr 23, 2026 7:13 pm
When people talk about websites, blogs, online shops, and content management systems, one name appears again and again: WordPress. There is a good reason for that. According to W3Techs, WordPress is currently used by 59.6% of all websites with a known CMS, which equals about 42.2% of all websites overall. That means WordPress is not just popular — it is one of the dominant foundations of the modern web. While it is not literally every second domain on the Internet, it is fair to say that almost every second website is powered by WordPress.
That number alone says a lot. WordPress started as a blogging platform, but over time it developed into a full website system that can be used for personal blogs, company sites, magazines, news portals, landing pages, communities, and even large business websites. One of the main reasons for its success is flexibility. A beginner can install a simple theme and get started quickly, while an advanced user or developer can build highly customized websites with plugins, themes, custom post types, and integrations. That wide range has made WordPress attractive to hobbyists, freelancers, agencies, and businesses alike.
