How CDN 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 CDN among UK construction companies?
Cloudflare is the most-detected CDN among UK construction companies, with 93.9% share (5,787 of 6,161 companies with a detectable system), ahead of Amazon S3 (3.5%) and Amazon CloudFront (2.1%).
How many UK construction companies have a detectable CDN?
6,161 of 237,400 actively-trading UK construction companies (2.6%) have a CDN 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 CDN?
A CDN is the delivery layer that caches and serves a website’s static assets, such as images, scripts and files. For UK construction companies, it helps public websites serve project imagery, downloads and page assets without relying only on the origin server.
How is CDN 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 construction companies, Cloudflare or Amazon S3?
Cloudflare: 5,787 detected companies versus 214 for Amazon S3, of the 6,161 UK construction companies with a detectable CDN.
What is the best CDN for UK construction companies?
This page publishes detected usage rather than product recommendations. Cloudflare accounts for 93.9% of the 6,161 construction companies with a detectable CDN, including 93.9% of the 4,434 companies under 10 employees, 93.9% of the 1,556 companies with 10–50 employees, and 95.3% of the 171 companies with over 50 employees.
