The following tables illustrates the usage of web authoring tools
on the web. The tool is determined by examining the web page
meta tag 'generator'. Readers are cautioned that not all authoring
packages insert their name in this meta tag, and as such may not
be picked up in this survey.
The July survey is based on a sample size of 7,838,231 pages downloaded from 883,299 sites. We detected authoring tool usage on 172,784 sites (19.56% of all sites visited).
