v22.0.6 fixes a compiler type-checking edge case; NVD lists six Angular CVEs, zero critical, zero CISA KEV entries.

On the broader web, 58.3% of detected frameworks are legacy. On the top 10K, that drops to 43.9%. Modern frameworks hold 48.7% of the high-traffic web. The generation split is a function of traffic tier.

Next.js, Angular, Laravel, Vue, Remix, FastAPI, Astro, and HTMX all shipped updates in the same seven-day window — the update burden is the product

By refusing to be a framework, HTMX refused to accumulate the attack surface that frameworks carry.

Content-first architecture, 335 contributors, and a score of 90. Astro grows by consensus, not controversy.

The zero-JS-by-default framework is now the fastest-growing in the WebPulse dataset by download velocity. Server Islands and content-first architecture are pulling adoption from both legacy CMS and SPA-heavy stacks.

A 95-scoring backend, a 90-scoring frontend, and a headless CMS. Greenfield projects have a new center of gravity.

Next.js optimizes every millisecond of render time while its npm dependency tree remains the single largest attack surface in modern web development.

Arriving July 2026, npm v12 kills the attack vector behind Miasma, Shai-Hulud, Atomic Arch, and every preinstall-hook worm of the last decade. Dependencies will no longer execute code during installation unless explicitly allowed. Three breaking changes. One architectural decision. The npm supply chain era may be ending.

Angular 22 defaults to zoneless signals. Vue 3.6 Vapor Mode eliminates the virtual DOM with 97% faster renders. Svelte has never had one. The architectural paradigm that defined a decade of frontend development is being replaced.

.blog is 99% WordPress. .dev is 54% Next.js. .store is 59% Shopify. .gov is 49% Drupal. The TLD you chose predicts your entire technology stack.

Only 28% WordPress. 28% Drupal. 16% Shopify. 10% Rails. 7% Angular. 6% React. No other country comes close to this framework diversity.

The TLD developers buy for personal projects and side hustles. No client requests, no procurement defaults. Pure developer preference.

The highest SvelteKit adoption rate of any country. Plus 6.5% Angular. Central European dev culture is more diverse than the WordPress default.

24% Next.js on .kz domains vs 1% on .de. Less legacy means less inertia. The countries with the least to protect are moving fastest.

38,342 Vue ecosystem detections vs 16,703 standalone React. But apples-to-apples, React + Next.js dwarfs Vue + Nuxt. The framing changes everything.

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.

Among detected .cn domains, Vue.js + Nuxt.js together rank in the top 3. Cultural connections shaped technology adoption patterns.

Among 5,901 detected .kr domains, Korean web development culture shows unusual diversity. Enterprise JavaScript frameworks have a stronger foothold than anywhere else in Asia.

15 enterprise sites scanned: Next.js 6, Drupal 5, WordPress 3, Spring 2, React 2. No consensus. No standard. Every company chose differently.

While every industry debates WordPress vs Next.js, telecom quietly built on Angular and Vue. A completely different technology decision for completely different reasons.

28 major media sites scanned globally. WordPress: 14. Next.js: 14. A small but striking sample that suggests an industry mid-migration.

Original research: Next.js at 42%, WordPress at 16%, legacy vs modern at 30% vs 70%. The shift has happened.

Edge computing changed the economics of web infrastructure. Legacy frameworks can't take advantage. Modern ones were built for it.

Performance gains, cost reduction, developer velocity, security improvement — quantified across real migrations.

The companies building the web's infrastructure made deliberate framework decisions. Here's the business logic behind each one.

Framework adoption varies dramatically by region. Developing markets are most dependent on the web's most vulnerable infrastructure.
