We scanned 25 major websites to see what frameworks the world's leading companies actually run. The results tell a clear story.
Next.js Dominates
BBC, Stripe, Notion, Linear, Figma — all Next.js. These aren't companies that chose a framework because of a blog post. They evaluated options and converged on the same answer.
Astro Is the Infrastructure Choice
Cloudflare and Netlify — two companies that literally build web infrastructure — both chose Astro for their own sites. When the people who build the platform choose a framework, that's the signal.
Rails Holds for Apps
Dev.to, Airbnb, Twitch — still Rails. Ruby on Rails scores 64/100 — firmly in the Acceptable category. It's not the future, but it's not a liability either. It's the framework for apps that already exist.
WordPress Is for WordPress
The only major site we found running WordPress was wordpress.com itself. And the White House. Government sites are consistently the last to move — which is itself a finding worth noting.
