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 public healthcare companies?
WordPress is the most-detected CMS among UK public healthcare companies, with 72.6% share (809 of 1,114 companies with a detectable system), ahead of Wix (9.9%) and GoDaddy Website Builder (5.4%).
How many UK public healthcare companies have a detectable CMS?
1,114 of 1,559 actively-trading UK public healthcare companies (71.5%) 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 publish, edit and manage website content, usually covering service pages, policy information, forms, news and governance material. For UK public healthcare companies, it gives staff a way to keep public-facing information current without rebuilding the site for each update.
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 public healthcare companies, WordPress or Wix?
WordPress: 809 detected companies versus 110 for Wix, of the 1,114 UK public healthcare companies with a detectable CMS.
What is the best CMS for UK public healthcare companies?
This page publishes usage figures rather than recommendations, so it does not rank one CMS as the best option. On observed usage, WordPress leads each employee band: 73.1% of 557 detected sites under 10 employees, 71.5% of 432 in the 10–50 band, and 74.6% of 126 over 50 employees. Across the whole detected market, WordPress is at 72.6% (810), ahead of Wix at 9.9% (110) and GoDaddy Website Builder at 5.4% (60).
