jQuery is still on 53.7% of the web, and Webflow puts it on 97.6% of its sites (programming.dev)

I visited the homepages of the 14.8 million sites in Google's Chrome UX Report in October.

I thought jQuery would be dead, but it's still on 53.7% of sites, and it seems to be tied quite tightly to the platform. Webflow puts it on 97.6% of its sites, WordPress on 84.9%. For contrast, React is on 10.6% of sites.

jQuery helped me get into web development, and I guess it still gets the job done even if redundant with browser standards these days...

Stock Wordpress no longer requires it anywhere on the front end, but the mass of older sites, plugins, and themes are probably still rocking it. (And it’s still deeply embedded in the core/dashboard.)

Yeah be interested to see if WordPress's share drops over time. Is painful to optimise a custom theme, light vanilla JS then some plugin enqueues the bloat right back in 🫠
