How CMS 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 CMS among UK B2C companies?
WordPress is the most-detected CMS among UK B2C companies, with 63.4% share (38,033 of 60,024 companies with a detectable system), ahead of Wix (10.4%) and Cornerstone (8.8%).
How many UK B2C companies have a detectable CMS?
60,024 of 84,694 actively-trading UK B2C companies (70.9%) have a CMS 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 CMS?
A CMS is the software used to create, edit and publish a company website without changing code for each page update. For UK B2C companies, it is the system behind consumer-facing site content such as product, service, location and campaign pages, and often controls templates, menus, media and publishing permissions.
How is CMS 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 B2C companies, WordPress or Wix?
WordPress: 38,033 detected companies versus 6,233 for Wix, of the 60,024 UK B2C companies with a detectable CMS.
