You may have recently heard WordPress is decreasing in market share. If you haven’t, @frz wrote an interesting article [here](https://www.concretecms.com/about/blog/news/why-wordpresss-market-share-shrinking-and-what-does-mean-concrete-cms), and it’s worth the read.

I noticed another exciting stat on CMS usage.  
Websites not using a CMS decreased by -3.3% year over year. Notice the trend in this image from W3Techs:

_ **+3.3% growth in CMS usage year over year** _, which is excellent news if you are a CMS. Cool.
