For two decades, one piece of software quietly ran the internet, at its peak, WordPress powered over 40% of every website on Earth. Then, in 2025, the giant started to shrink for the first time ever.

This is the story of how WordPress conquered the web... and how AI is slowly killing it.

Inside:
• How WordPress took over (free, open-source, no code)
• The Upkeep Trap, endless updates, fragile plugins, and why it's the most-hacked platform on the web
• Why your content gets locked inside its database
• The rise of AI website builders, brilliant for simpler sites, in minutes, for a few dollars a month
• WordPress's first sustained decline since tracking began in 2011
• The 2024 civil war that hit at the worst possible time
• WordPress fighting back with its own AI builder

Is WordPress dead? No, it still powers more of the web than anything else. But for the first time in 20 years, the giant is shrinking, and the machines replacing it only get faster.

Would you still build your next site on WordPress? Let me know below. 👇

Mistakes happen… but boring software shouldn’t.

At Pixel Penguin, we love building unique software that actually stands out — not copy-paste solutions. And with AI built in, your software doesn’t just work… it thinks, adapts, and gets smarter over time.

If you’ve got something different in mind, we’re already interested.

I've been updating the AI Radio as a personal experiment, making some changes to the website to play content randomly instead of following a traditional radio format. It's funny and intriguing to see how AI handles this – everything on the radio is just a parody, and you can even skip DJ talking and songs!

It's fascinating to explore the capabilities of AI in this playful context, and I'm curious to hear what you think about it! For now, it's just a fun experiment, but who knows where it might lead?
