The Web's Real Stack in 2026: Apache Holds #1, WordPress Owns the CMS, Astro Tops the Frameworks
We mapped the real technology stack across 3.4 million classified sites. Among 3.17M server-tagged sites Apache leads at 29.2%, nginx is second at 26.3%, and Cloudflare — once billed as the new #1 — sits third at 19.6%. WordPress still takes roughly 87% of the self-hosted CMS market, and Astro has overtaken standalone React by deployment count. The server race is a three-way split, not a Cloudflare takeover.
