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 food service companies?

WordPress is the most-detected CMS among UK food service companies, with 63.1% share (3,526 of 5,586 companies with a detectable system), ahead of Wix (14.4%) and Squarespace (13%).

How many UK food service companies have a detectable CMS?

5,586 of 83,163 actively-trading UK food service companies (6.7%) 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 system a food service company uses to manage public website content, such as menus, location pages, booking information, catering pages and campaign pages. For UK food service companies, it usually sits between marketing, operations and customer acquisition, allowing website changes without rebuilding the site each time.

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 food service companies, WordPress or Wix?
