# AI Isn't Slowing Down Page Builders

This past week I was thinking about the effect the proliferation of AI is was having on page builders. I saw the article [WordPress Market Share Declines For Six Months In A Row](https://www.searchenginejournal.com/wordpress-market-share-in-decline/576042/) reposted on LinkedIn. My immediate thought was that AI chatbots and coding agents were steering folks to static hosting.

Both GitHub and Cloudflare’s pages products have a free tier that would more than cover most people’s needs. Also, Git is an interface that agents know very well. Anecdotally, Vercel seems to be a popular choice for obviously AI created pages.

I did a search on BuiltWith.com, a site that tracks usage of various tech on publicly available ip addresses. To my surprise, WordPress is losing share, but not active sites.

I attribute the slight retreat that WordPress has in the middle of 2025 to be related to it’s creator having an increasingly public and intense freakout over [WPEngine’s relationship to the opensource project](https://mullenweg.wtf/).

So I took a look at some other popular site builders, they aren’t losing active sites either.

Maybe this is an example of induced demand. Chat based LLMs made technology a little more accessible, folks have something guiding them through the process and they are more likely to create sites.

Even though everyone has a range in there kitchen, some times you just want to cook, maybe technology is similar.
