>2. Of the YC companies that use hosting providers, 55% use AWS, 13% use Cloudflare and 6% use Rackspace.
Comparing Cloudflare and AWS? Where's GCP or Azure?
>3. Of the YC companies that use a CDN, 68% use Amazon CloudFront, 7% use Cloudflare and 5% use Fastly.
Okay, so there's a separate section for CDN...
>8. Only 22% of YC sites use a third party CMS. Of those, 83% use WordPress.
"3rd party" CMS? As opposed to...a custom made web app?
>11. In terms of installs, the most common Analytics providers are Google Analytics (451), Google Universal Analytics (314), Mixpanel (183) and Optimizely (129).
I thought Google Universal Analytics was an updated version of Google Analytics.
That said, this kind of market research is incredibly valuable.
Hey, so i'll attempt to clear the air a bit. Didn't think this would trend like it did..
Cloudflare - chalk this up as a mistake. I have a marketing background, so not too well versed in the infrastructure space. I'll ask Macro to make an edit for me :)
"As opposed to...a custom made web app?" - correct.
Google Analytics vs Universal Analytics - Correct, Universal is an update, but many still use GA standard. The GA # (451) is all encompassing, the GUA # (314) is the subset of GA users that use the update.
Granted, there is much room for improvement in both the information given and the semantics behind it, but I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thought it would be interesting for people to see since a lot of this stuff usually operates behind the black curtain.
