FirstSited

New business websites the week they go live. Watch a word, a technology or a rival, and get every new site that matches. Formerly StackScope.

[FirstSited @firstsitedhq]

StackScope is now FirstSited.

I started out tracking what new launches on @ProductHunt, @hackernews and @peerpush_com were built with. I had developers in mind when I built it.

Then I started finding websites beyond the launch boards. Shops, salons, trades, cafes, agencies. Businesses putting their sites live without posting about it anywhere.

That changed who I was building it for. Knowing what a site is built with is useful to developers, but knowing a business has just launched is useful to agencies and people looking for new customers. Especially if they can find them that first week.

So I've changed the name to better fit what it’s become.

I've also given it a new look and rebuilt the search. You can type something like "dog groomers UK" or "new Shopify stores" and see what's launched this week, set a watch and you'll get new matches as they appear, along with whatever contact details they've published on their site.

It's still me behind it, and the data is the same. The new name just makes a bit more sense now.

Roughly 1 in 7 new websites use PHP, with 75% of those running WordPress https://t.co/yIVckFF9QX

4,476 new sites for builders, 1,580 for plumbers, 1,136 for dentists. In one week.

Which trade is your customer?

[FirstSited @firstsitedhq]

@TheXSami Cheers for the follow! Agencies are the only ones paying for it so far, so the rebrand reflects that. Under the hood, it's all the same.

@damonchen so, no privacy policy, no terms of service, poor security headers ? who in their right mind is giving you any business? https://t.co/v2iOuF8IQ7

[FirstSited @firstsitedhq]

@hridoyreh you guys get indexed!?

[FirstSited @firstsitedhq]

355 launches went live with the scaffold’s title still in the tab. "Create Next App." "My Google AI Studio App." "Deployment paused." What’s the worst default title you’ve shipped?

1 in 7 new launch pages carry one image over a megabyte. 2.7% go over 3 MB. It is almost always the hero. Did you resize yours?

[FirstSited @firstsitedhq]

We're live on @peerpush_com today!

I looked at 585,887 @WordPress sites we found between July and September for StackScope's latest report. Across the full sample, @elementor was on 42.2% and @WooCommerce on 22.0%.

A few country figures:

India (16,573 sites): Elementor 65%.
Japan (12,561 sites): Elementor 3.7%, WooCommerce 0.9%, Cocoon 39.9%. Cocoon is a free Japanese theme maintained by Xserver, a Japanese host.
Vietnam (1,554 sites): Flatsome 58.3%, WooCommerce 49.4%, Elementor 13.4%.

@AstraWP was the most common theme we detected in 14 of the 17 countries with at least 1,000 sites.

We could only estimate a country for about 17% of the WordPress sample, and the method undercounts the US. We also miss plugins and themes that leave no visible trace.

1 in 7 launches since July ship Tailwind, shadcn/ui and Lucide. 7% put that kit on Next.js. Can you still tell the landing pages apart?

[FirstSited @firstsitedhq]

The median new launch registered its domain 78 days before launch day. 1 in 6 bought it that week. 1 in 22 used a domain older than ten years. Counted on Product Hunt, Hacker News and PeerPush. How long did you sit on yours?

[FirstSited @firstsitedhq]

1 in 17 new launches put the exact server version in the Server header. Most common: nginx/1.24.0 (Ubuntu). Basic web security, skipped. Have you stripped the version?

1 in 6 new security tools ship with no security headers. 1 in 5 privacy tools have no privacy policy. 68% of AI humanisers overuse the em dash on their own page.

[FirstSited @firstsitedhq]

1 in 5 launches running Google Analytics have no privacy policy. 1 in 5 taking payment have no terms. 16% put up a cookie banner with no policy for it to point to. Which tool did yours forget?
