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 companies?
LiteSpeed Cache is the most-detected Caching among UK companies, with 43% share (12,274 of 28,537 companies with a detectable system), ahead of WP Rocket (26.6%) and W3 Total Cache (9%).
How many UK companies have a detectable Caching?
28,537 of 2,066,481 actively-trading UK companies (1.4%) 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 web pages, assets or computed responses so repeat visitors do not force the same work on every request. For UK companies, the job is usually to shorten page-load times, reduce server load and make public websites more stable during repeat traffic.
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 companies, LiteSpeed Cache or WP Rocket?
LiteSpeed Cache: 12,274 detected companies versus 7,581 for WP Rocket, of the 28,537 UK companies with a detectable Caching.
What is the best Caching for UK companies?
The page publishes Caching usage data rather than recommendations, so “best” is treated as observed adoption rather than a ranking of product quality. LiteSpeed Cache has the largest detected share in every employer band: 43.2% of 18,748 companies in Under 10 employees, 43.2% of 8,582 companies in 10–50 employees, and 38.9% of 1,207 companies in Over 50 employees.
