Total .ru detections: 238,055 (Source: WebPulse Common Crawl scan, 8.36M detections. Our single deepest country dataset.)
The Scale
At 238,055 detections, Russia is our single deepest country dataset. At this scale, the numbers are definitive. Joomla at 27,374 sites — Russia's Joomla count alone exceeds most countries' total detections. The .ru domain space carries massive legacy infrastructure. But the surprise is Next.js at 5.7% — higher than Germany's 1%. Russian tech companies are modernizing even as the broader web carries massive legacy.
The Modernization Within Legacy
Next.js at 5.7% of .ru means roughly 13,500 Next.js sites on Russian domains. That's more Next.js sites than most countries have total detections. Angular at 3.3% adds another 7,800+ enterprise JavaScript sites. Vue at 1.4% adds 3,300+. Combined, roughly 10% of the Russian web runs modern frameworks — a higher modern rate than Germany, France, or the Netherlands.
The Joomla Giant
27,374 Joomla sites on .ru domains. To put that in perspective: that's more Joomla sites than the total web detections for most countries in our dataset. Russia isn't just a Joomla holdout — it's the Joomla capital of the world by raw count. The Russian Joomla community built a massive infrastructure 10-15 years ago, and it persists. Every Joomla vulnerability disproportionately affects the .ru domain space.
