WordPress has released the results of its 2023 annual survey, which collected feedback from users, site builders, extenders, and contributors across the WordPress ecosystem. The survey revealed some interesting trends and themes, such as:

• Increased awareness and usage of block-based features and the site editor

• Security, performance, and stability as the top critical areas for building websites
• Open source, plugin options, customization, ease of use, and flexibility as the best things about WordPress

The survey also highlighted some areas that could benefit from increased attention in 2024, such as:

• Addressing the pain points and challenges of the WordPress community, especially contributors
• Leveraging the survey data as one of many signals to inform the project’s roadmap and focus areas
