1. How many people use WordPress for their websites?

There are 66 million websites that use WordPress in the world as of May 2023, as per Statista. While Colorlib estimates there are 810 million websites that use WordPress as of August 2023, representing 43% of all websites in the world. On the other hand, Popupsmart calculates it at 455 million websites as of 2023. So there is a big discrepancy and difference in the numbers.

But if you get the number of websites, which is 1.13 billion as of February 2023 based on Forbes’ report, and get the market share of WordPress—43% based on WordPress themselves—you’ll end up with 485,900,000 websites running on the platform.

2. Where do I find the statistics or performance of my WordPress website?

Tracking the performance of your website is necessary to know how it is doing online and how you can address people’s needs through it. This is something one can do through web analytics, which becomes easy to see on real time or over a period of time since it is built in WordPress for free plans. JetPack, which was developed by WordPress, provides the platform’s site traffic, insights, and subscribers for several years now.

For such websites, one just have to have an admin access to the WordPress website, go to the Dashboard and click on Stats to see the JetPack analytics. However, site traffic or performance would have to be installed through plugins for paid WordPress websites. But normally, the stats would still be accessible in the Dashboard of the WordPress website’s admin page for those who have Admin access.
