Web Authoring Tools Report
June 1st, 2006

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 May survey is based on a sample size of 14,411,682 pages downloaded from 1,408,365 sites. We detected authoring tool usage on 256,773 sites (18.23% of all sites visited).
