Data Sources
Every WordPress website sends an API request every 12 hours to check for new updates (core, plugins, themes, translations). wp.org server sends back a response telling the website what to update.
This data is collected on wp.org servers and processed. Some information displayed openly on WordPress Statistics page, plugin pages and other places.
This chart displays the market share (in %) for each WordPress version of all the active WordPress websites.
History
With every new major version released, it takes some time to gain market share as not everybody immediately upgrade – some people wait a few weeks until the initial bugs are fixed.
At the moment, WordPress 3.x versions are used by less than 0.5% of all the websites using WordPress. WordPress 6.x versions are used by over 85% of all the websites using WordPress.
Very interesting to see the usage of WordPress 4.9 compared to some of the later versions.
