And every year, WordPress quietly powers more of the internet than the year before. As of 2026, <strong>WordPress runs approximately 43% of all websites on the internet.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>That is not just blogs. That is e-commerce stores, news outlets, corporate sites, portfolios, membership platforms, and everything in between.

Learning management system? LearnDash. The plugin ecosystem means you almost never need to code from scratch.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Nimporte_qui_peut_lutiliser\"><\/span>3. Anyone Can Use It<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>With the block editor (Gutenberg) and Full Site Editing, you can build professional-looking pages by dragging and dropping blocks.
