These new pages let you quickly see what the top technologies across different technology categories are near you. This is quite useful because for example the most popular eCommerce technologies in France differ from other locations like the United States, United Kingdom and Australia.

We though it might be useful to have these are a filter and report in BuiltWith –

When we got started with BuiltWith in 2007 we relied heavily on the Quantcast Top 1m file that Quantcast used to provide in those days. Alexa also provided a Top 1m file but it contained URLs like YouTube channels so we always preferred the Quantcast list for that reason.

Some of those providers disappeared and new Top 1m providers started to appear like Majestic and Umbrella so we were joining all of these lists together until someone else started their own version of this called Tranco which is what we use today for traffic ranking. Tranco have now hit a bit of a road block because some of their sources (Alexa and Quantcast) are now defunct from a top 1m list perspective.

Creating our own Top 1m List

We wanted to create out own Top 1m list that didn’t rely on any of the properties of the other Top 1m lists. Our methodology is based 100% on evidence based technology and domain spend. For example a site that uses Shopify Plus and Hubspot would be higher up than a site that is using jQuery and Google Analytics (free version). We also have technology spend attached to non-technologies such as if a website has a redirect from the .IE TLD or if they have 10 or more registered TLDs.

We also added a time based element to the list ordering, using a technology for less than a specific period of time means it isn’t counted. This is to prevent fake sites appearing in the list.

How to get the Top 1m Zip

Follow this link – https://builtwith.com/top-1m to get the ZIP. The top 1m updates monthly around the 20th of the month.

How different is it to Traffic Rank Top 1m

Comparing the lastest Tranco Top 1m with our Top 1m there is a 13% overlap which means the list is quite unique and may be an interesting additional to any research. All of the Top 1m we provide are root domains.

Our list is more focused on businesses that implement other businesses technology, you can clearly see this by comparing the top 5 sites, the Tranco list includes companies that do not implement “normal” company technologies –

How can I browse the top sites without downloading a Zip?

You can see top sites and top eCommerce sites for countries around the globe at https://builtwith.com/top-sites

We are highlighting the most popular joins and the ones we think are going to be the most useful. You can see these on pages like https://trends.builtwith.com/shop/Shopify

There’s a lot of variations to choose from and they are all accessible on the sidebar of technology reports –

This saves having to create different country variation reports for yourself and team. Hopefully you will find it useful!

It’s a free extension and can be installed at https://www.pipedrive.com/en/marketplace/app/built-with/bba0d287c95ca5bb

How do you quantify if your business is net zero emissions? There is a standard for quantifying it, ISO 14064-1:2018 – but it’s 158 Swiss Francs just to read it and probably way more detailed than we need for our SaaS tool.

BuiltWith is almost 100% online business with the exception of us designing and shipping of custom hats for Pro customers. The company we use for these are looking at ways to be more sustainable in producing these hats, we have switched to using their eco-friendly caps they offer from econscious as a start.

We operate in Sydney, Australia which is a carbon neutral city and work from home office most of the time, our home office is 100% powered by renewable energy either by solar power or GreenPower. Our corporate office at One International Towers Barangaroo is Australia’s first certified carbon neutral precinct.

Our main potential and actual carbon emissions is electrical energy used in server compute time; every month we run tens of thousands of hours of server time at AWS, Google, Azure and OVH. Three of those providers have claimed they will be carbon neutral by 2025, with Google the only one currently already claiming carbon neutrality.

We will revisit this topic in 2025 to see how and if we as an entire business are 100% carbon neutral – we hope so.
