Market Share of Web Technology 
in Lithuania
 

A PROBLEM

I teach Web Development

• Programming lanuages: 15 (Wikipedia)
   
• HTTP Servers: 36 (Wikipedia)
   
• Content Management Systems: >100 (Wikipedia)
   
• Web Application Frameworks: >150 (Wikipedia)
  • Lumen - released 2015-04-14

So...

Methodology

• Use a custom built web crawlwer to build a list of websites to analyze.
  • Start with delfi.lt (the biggest site in Lithuania)
  • Only pick up domains with .lt ending
• Use a custom built script open source Webbalyzer software to scan the sites and detect technologies that were used.
• Compare the results with global stats, provided by W3Tech.
• Build some pretty charts and show them to the world.

Caveat

• Server administrators hide/obfuscate/change the results
• „Security through obscurity“
   
• In some categories, scan up to 80 percent of websites did don't return a result.
• In Some other categories, more than 97 percent of websites did return a result.

The RESULTS

22,621 domain names

2,101 did not respond

20,520 active websites

Web Servers

Programming Languages

Programming Languages (with n/a)

CMS

CMS (with n/a)

Operating Systems

Conclusions

• Trends are similar to global ones;
• A bigger share of legacy technologies;
• Some results are not reliable due to low level of detection;
• Some surprises in CMS market share;
