CMS market share trends
WordPress and "None" plotted as lines. Competitors stacked by size. Forecast extends from the most recent month using Holt's exponential smoothing, which weights recent observations more heavily so the projected slope follows current momentum rather than a flat average.

"Sub-1% combined" aggregates platforms tracked by W3Techs that sit below 1% market share. "Other" is the residual long tail not tracked individually (~10% of all sites), including Statamic, Craft, Ghost and similar specialist platforms. Forecast trend per platform is estimated with Holt's linear exponential smoothing (α=0.6, β=0.5) over the trailing 12 months, which weights recent observations more heavily so the projection tracks current momentum. "Other" is recomputed each month as 100% minus the sum of named platforms.
