Web Authoring Tools Report
May 1st, 2005

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 April survey is based on a sample size of 6,117,351 pages downloaded from 599,017 sites. We detected authoring tool usage on 119,204 sites (19.90% of all sites visited).
