    WordPress Speed Statistics 2026

    How fast WordPress really is, from real-user field data: overall pass rates, how it stacks up against other CMS platforms, which page builders pass most often, and the hosting underneath it. Each stat links to the full study.

    Last updated July 2026 from the May 2026 CrUX release.
