In September 2022, Cloudflare announced its replacement of nginx with Pingora, a new in-house HTTP proxy.Ĭloudflare was founded in 2009 and launched publicly in 2010. At the time of this split, Cloudflare was already the third most used within the top million busiest sites, having overtaken Microsoft in March 2019. Along with Apache (21.40%) and nginx (21.20%), the top three web servers power almost two-thirds of the top million busiest sites.Ĭloudflare’s journey to the top of the million busiest sites metric began in the February 2021 Web Server Survey, when we started tracking it separately from nginx to reflect Cloudflare’s extensive use of in-house technologies. Within the top million busiest sites, Cloudflare has jumped from 3rd to 1st place - overtaking both Apache and nginx in a single month - its market share increased by 0.56pp and now stands at 21.64%. This reflects a gain of 6,894,269 sites, but a loss of 270,799 domains and 77,725 computers. In the January 2023 survey we received responses from 1,132,268,801 sites across 270,967,923 unique domains, and 12,156,700 web-facing computers. Microsoft released Azure Load Testing, a service that can test a web application’s resilience to high load.AWS announced general availability of its Asia Pacific (Melbourne) region, as well as general availability of Local Zones in Perth and Santiago.The vulnerability allowed attackers to smuggle requests to the backend AJP server without being correctly processed by the proxy server. This vulnerability affects configurations using mod_proxy_ajp, a proxy server which forwards requests to an application server using the Apache JServ Protocol (AJP). This includes a fix for the CVE-2022-36760 vulnerability. Apache 2.4.55 was released on 17th January 2023.This continues its consistent downwards trend since December 2018. The largest loss in sites for a major vendor this month comes from Microsoft, which is down 2,866,173 sites (-9.59%) and 74,094 domains (-0.98%). However, nginx maintained its overall site count and even gained 219 of the top million busiest sites, giving it a 21.23% share (+0.02pp) within the top million sites. Similarly to Apache, nginx lost a significant number of domains this month, being down by 483,620 domains since our January survey (-0.66%). Outside of the top million, Apache saw more significant losses, netting a decrease of 2,593,754 sites (-1.11%) and 434,071 domains (-0.74%). Meanwhile, Apache lost 626 sites (-0.29%) in the top million sites, bringing its share to 21.34% (-0.06pp). Following Cloudflare becoming the most commonly used web server vendor within the top million sites last month, it has started to cement its position: gaining 672 sites (+0.31%) of the top million sites this month, giving it a 21.71% market share (+0.07pp). OpenResty’s market share by domain count remained stable, with a slight 0.01pp increase this month - its small loss of 14,039 domains was counteracted by the greater loss of domains across all vendors this month.Ĭloudflare continues to grow, gaining 1,669,867 sites (+1.49%) and 500,432 domains (+1.89%) since our January survey. This brings its share of sites to 8.44%, up from 8.15% (+0.29pp). OpenResty had the largest percentage growth in sites this month: it is now used by 95,176,082 sites, an increase of 2,884,258 (+3.13%) since last month. This reflects a loss of 4,638,508 sites, 240,148 domains and 13,907 computers. In the February 2023 survey we received responses from 1,127,630,293 sites across 270,727,775 unique domains, and 12,142,793 web-facing computers.
