⏰ Old Post

This post is over 8 years old - it might be slightly outdated and consigned to the history books.

Of the 328 million domains we re-indexed we've seen growth in some of the usual suspects. WooCommerce has continued it's growth increase by over a third, adding 247,245 domains with the technology. WooCommerce was acquired by Automattic in May of this year (Automattic are the company behind WordPress which is the software WooCommerce integrates with).

Spree Commerce are one of the biggest gainers though since January, doubling the amount of sites we detected using their platform.

GoDaddy host 38.6 million domains so they definitely have the marketing ability to further increase their platform.

However we've not entirely seen that happen yet and products look WooCommerce have literally come out of nowhere to dominate the eCommerce technology trends.
