Indonesia 87% WordPress. Thailand 53% — with 21% Joomla. Southeast Asia's Web Tells Six Different Stories.
Indonesia: 17,865 sites at 87% WordPress. Vietnam: 21,396 sites at 86%. Thailand: 2,859 sites at 53% WordPress + 21% Joomla. Singapore: 2,866 sites at 68% WordPress + 26% Shopify. Six countries, six infrastructure realities.
Thailand at 21% Joomla is the highest Joomla concentration in the region and one of the highest globally. Combined with 13% Drupal, Thailand's legacy is diversified legacy — different from Indonesia's WordPress monoculture but equally outdated.
Singapore at 26% Shopify is the Shopify capital of Southeast Asia. Shopify at 26% and WordPress at 68% means modern JS frameworks have almost no footprint — the market chose ecommerce platforms, not technology stacks.
Indonesia and Vietnam at 87% and 86% WordPress represent the region's two largest WordPress monocultures. The freelance marketplace economics that created India's 82% pattern are even more dominant here.
The Philippines at 68% WordPress with 12% Joomla and 11% Shopify shows more framework diversity than Indonesia or Vietnam — but modern JS frameworks still trail at under 9%.
