The shares below are of those sites. | Version | Sites | Share | | --- | --- | --- | | **1** | 810 | 100.0% | ## About Backdrop ### At a glance - **Website:** backdropcms.org ↗ - **Language:** PHP - **License:** GPL v2 - **First release:** 2013-12-15 A fork is a statement about an upgrade path. Backdrop exists because a group of developers looked at where Drupal was heading and decided that the cost of following it was higher than the cost of maintaining an alternative. Since 2013 the project has kept a familiar architecture for site builders who did not want to relearn one. The code is PHP, the licence is GPL v2, and the direction belongs to a volunteer community rather than to a company. The absence of a vendor matters when you read the numbers. Nobody is selling seats, running a sales team or publishing customer counts, so a crawl of the open web is one of the few ways to observe how many organisations actually run the software. As of October 2026 we detect Backdrop on 1,233 sites. The version picture is unusually simple. Across the detected installs the version field never varies, and the value we read on every one of them is 1. Flatness of that kind is a property of the detection rather than a claim about the code. A content management system reveals only as much of its version as its markup, headers and asset paths happen to expose, and a project that keeps a single stable major line will look uniform from outside even while point releases move underneath. Anyone who needs precise release level data should treat the field as a coarse signal. The organisations that run this software are a specific population. Forks chosen for stability tend to be adopted by nonprofits, schools, small public bodies and the agencies that serve them, in other words by site owners who value a long support horizon more than a new feature set. A domain in this list is more likely to be an institution with a modest budget and a multi year replacement cycle than a fast moving commercial site. A per domain lookup will confirm the platform behind one address. A list answers the questions that only appear in aggregate. How large the installed base of the fork is next to the system it left. Which countries and top level domains it concentrated in. Whether it is growing or slowly draining as sites are rebuilt, and which hosting providers carry the bulk of it. Migration vendors, module maintainers, security researchers looking for exposed installs and agencies hunting replatforming work all need the population rather than the single answer. The CMS dataset ships the domain, the detected version where a site exposes one, the date of the last confirmed detection and the other technologies seen on the same host. ## Frequently asked questions ### How to download the list of websites using Backdrop The complete list of websites using Backdrop is available as one structured file.
