LiteSpeed Cache leads each headcount band: 41.8% of the 11,420 companies under 10 employees, 41.6% of the 5,218 companies with 10–50 employees, and 38.0% of the 700 companies over 50 employees. The median headcount is 6 employees for most profiled systems, so the visible market is weighted towards smaller B2B websites rather than larger employers.

After the first two systems, the field drops to W3 Total Cache at 9.4% (1,632 companies), WP Super Cache at 6.7% (1,169 companies), WP-Optimize at 5.0% (862 companies), WP Fastest Cache at 4.8% (834 companies), Redis Object Cache at 3.2% (552 companies) and NitroPack at 2.2% (374 companies). Four further systems cover 534 companies, so the tail is present but fragmented.

How Caching usage is detected

Methodology

Company data

Detected companies are joined to UK Companies House records and XBRL accounts data. Revenue and headcount figures come from the most recent filed accounts; where the company has not filed, values are estimated using a model trained on filed history and peer benchmarks and are labelled as estimates.

Detection

Firmbase crawls the public website of actively-trading UK companies and fingerprints the technologies present: tracking scripts, embedded forms, chat widgets, CMS markers and similar signatures. A company is included in this list when one or more of the technology's signatures are found on its site; closely-related variants of the same product are grouped under one name. Detection covers what is visible on the public web — a company using the technology purely internally, with no website footprint, will not appear. Counts are therefore a conservative floor, not a ceiling.

Freshness

Websites are re-crawled on a rolling basis and the underlying company data is refreshed from Companies House continuously; filings appear within days of submission. The list and its statistics are regenerated when the detected cohort moves meaningfully. You can see the last-updated timestamp near the top of the page.

Frequently asked questions

What is the most-used Caching among UK B2B companies?
LiteSpeed Cache is the most-detected Caching among UK B2B companies, with 41.6% share (7,209 of 17,338 companies with a detectable system), ahead of WP Rocket (27.4%) and W3 Total Cache (9.4%).
How many UK B2B companies have a detectable Caching?
17,338 of 112,345 actively-trading UK B2B companies (15.4%) have a Caching detectable from their public website. The remainder either run systems with no public web footprint or none at all, so detected share figures are a conservative floor.
What is a Caching?
A Caching system stores reusable website content, pages or objects so the same request does not have to be rebuilt each time. For UK B2B companies, it reduces repeated server work and helps website pages respond more consistently for buyers, customers and staff.
How is Caching usage detected?
Firmbase crawls the public website of every actively-trading company in this scope and fingerprints the technologies present — scripts, widgets, booking and checkout flows. A company is attributed to a system when that system's signatures are found; systems with no public web footprint are not attributable, which is why every share figure on this page means share of companies with a detectable system.
Which has more UK B2B companies, LiteSpeed Cache or WP Rocket?
LiteSpeed Cache: 7,209 detected companies versus 4,753 for WP Rocket, of the 17,338 UK B2B companies with a detectable Caching.
What is the best Caching for UK B2B companies?

Overall detected share is concentrated in LiteSpeed Cache at 41.6% (7,209 companies) and WP Rocket at 27.4% (4,753 companies), followed by W3 Total Cache at 9.4% (1,632 companies).
