There are over 1.7 billion websites on the Internet today, and most of them are powered by the world’s most popular open-source content management system, WordPress. According to W3Techs, WordPress currently powers over 36.6% of all the websites on the Internet.
One key reason behind the continuously increasing popularity and usage of WordPress is that it never left behind embracing new trends and technologies to ensure constant innovation and room for improvement for users. From introducing the theme Customizer in version 3.4 to incorporating the new Gutenberg block editor in version 5.0, the CMS has come a long way from being a simple blogging tool to a full-fledged eCommerce platform.
