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 December survey is based on a sample size of 14,814,024 pages downloaded from 1,693,428 sites. We detected authoring tool usage on 312,415 sites (18.45% of all sites visited).
