Squarespace Overtook Django at 10M. The No-Code Platform Passed the Developer Framework.

At 6.28M, Django led Squarespace. At 10M detections, Squarespace has 53,500 vs Django's 40,151. Scale reversed the finding. The long tail favors platforms.

At 6.28M detections, we published a story titled 'Django Has More Detections Than Squarespace.' That finding reversed at 10 million. Squarespace now leads Django by 13,000+ sites. The long tail of the web — smaller sites, personal brands, local businesses — favors the no-code platform. Django's strength is concentrated in the upper web; Squarespace's spreads across the long tail.

What the Reversal Means

The deeper you scan, the more no-code platforms you find. The first 6M sites skewed toward the visible, linkable web where developer-built sites are overrepresented. The last 4M reached the tail — where people who can't code still need websites. Squarespace serves that population. Django does not.

The Python Signal Persists

Django at 40,151 detections is still significant. Combined with FastAPI (our highest-scored framework), Python's web presence is larger than most people assume. The AI/ML ecosystem that runs on Python is pulling web development along with it. Django didn't shrink — Squarespace just grew faster in the long tail.
