That tells you Ruby can run a big site. It doesn&#8217;t tell you how many Ruby sites are out there, where they are, or whether anyone is still building on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So here is a data answer instead. As of the July 2026 crawl,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/webatla.com\/technology\/ruby\">WebAtla&#8217;s Ruby technology page<\/a>&nbsp;counts&nbsp;<strong>413,156 live websites running Ruby<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 roughly&nbsp;<strong>0.1% of every domain it indexes<\/strong>. This piece breaks that number down: how it&#8217;s measured, how Ruby compares to other backend languages, where these sites are hosted, and which recognizable names show up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many websites are made with Ruby?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"188\" src=\"https:\/\/ruby-doc.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/real_5592faed-5304-4c0e-bc11-5ec792b60a82-1024x188.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1112\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruby-doc.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/real_5592faed-5304-4c0e-bc11-5ec792b60a82-1024x188.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ruby-doc.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/real_5592faed-5304-4c0e-bc11-5ec792b60a82-300x55.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ruby-doc.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/real_5592faed-5304-4c0e-bc11-5ec792b60a82-768x141.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ruby-doc.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/real_5592faed-5304-4c0e-bc11-5ec792b60a82.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The short version:&nbsp;<strong>413,156 live sites<\/strong>, detected by fingerprinting what each domain exposes over HTTP. The important part is the word&nbsp;<em>detected<\/em>. This is a floor, not a ceiling, and the gap between the two is larger for Ruby than for most languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Backend languages don&#8217;t announce themselves the way a CMS or a JavaScript framework does. Rails stopped shipping an&nbsp;<code>X-Powered-By<\/code>&nbsp;header by default years ago, and a growing share of Ruby sites sit behind Cloudflare, Fastly or a reverse proxy that strips whatever runtime signals were there. If a site doesn&#8217;t reveal Ruby, no external crawler can count it. That count also moves year over year \u2014 WebAtla&#8217;s detected Ruby total is down sharply from a year ago \u2014 but that mostly reflects how much sites choose to expose, not Ruby vanishing from the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is also why no two sources agree. Trackers that look for Rails-specific signatures report their own figures in the hundreds of thousands; broader estimates put the framework past a million. Treat any single number, including this one, as a measured lower bound rather than a census.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ruby among the backend languages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Put next to the other server-side languages WebAtla detects the same way, Ruby lands in the middle of the pack \u2014 well behind PHP, a step behind Python and Java, and comfortably ahead of Perl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th>Language<\/th><th>Detected live sites<\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td>PHP<\/td><td>36,600,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Java<\/td><td>721,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Python<\/td><td>680,000<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Ruby<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>413,156<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Perl<\/td><td>148,000<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PHP&#8217;s lead is an artifact of WordPress more than a language contest \u2014 a huge fraction of the web is WordPress, and WordPress is PHP. The more useful read is the shape: Ruby&#8217;s detectable footprint is smaller than the giants but far from marginal, and it&#8217;s the same order of magnitude as Python&#8217;s web presence. As with every row here, these are detection floors, so read them as relative signal, not absolute truth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Notable websites made with Ruby<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The recognizable names hold up. Inside WebAtla&#8217;s detected set you&#8217;ll find&nbsp;<strong>Airbnb<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Dribbble<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Gumroad<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Goodreads<\/strong>&nbsp;\u2014 each still exposing a Ruby (and in several cases a Ruby on Rails) signature in production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond what&#8217;s externally detectable, Rails&#8217; lineage is well documented:&nbsp;<strong>GitHub<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Shopify<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Basecamp<\/strong>&nbsp;(where Rails was born),&nbsp;<strong>Kickstarter<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Twitch<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>Etsy<\/strong>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<strong>Zendesk<\/strong>&nbsp;all built core products on it. Worth being honest about the churn, too: a few sites that made every &#8220;built with Rails&#8221; list a decade ago have since moved on \u2014 Twitter rewrote its performance-critical paths in Scala, and Groupon shifted to Node \u2014 while others simply stopped advertising their stack. That movement is exactly why a live, re-measured count is more useful than a static hall of fame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Where Ruby sites are hosted<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"384\" src=\"https:\/\/ruby-doc.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/real_f555898f-5abf-40f2-80b0-51ad21a70982-1024x384.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1110\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ruby-doc.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/real_f555898f-5abf-40f2-80b0-51ad21a70982-1024x384.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/ruby-doc.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/real_f555898f-5abf-40f2-80b0-51ad21a70982-300x113.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/ruby-doc.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/real_f555898f-5abf-40f2-80b0-51ad21a70982-768x288.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/ruby-doc.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/real_f555898f-5abf-40f2-80b0-51ad21a70982.jpeg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ruby&#8217;s web footprint is heavily concentrated in North America.

It&#8217;s re-detected and re-exported every day, so the population shifts as sites launch, lapse, or change what they expose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want the underlying list rather than the summary \u2014 every detected Ruby domain with its hosting, country, TLD and rank, as structured JSON Lines \u2014 it&#8217;s published as a downloadable dataset, with a free sample to inspect the schema first. It&#8217;s a practical starting point for competitive research, for finding Rails shops by region, or for building your own &#8220;who runs Ruby&#8221; tooling on top of a maintained feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How many websites are made with Ruby?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">About 413,000 live sites currently expose a detectable Ruby signature \u2014 413,156 in the July 2026 crawl, or roughly 0.1% of all indexed domains. Because backend languages are easy to hide, the real number is higher; this is a measured floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What famous websites are made with Ruby?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Airbnb, <a href=\"https:\/\/dribbble.com\/\">Dribbble<\/a>, Gumroad and Goodreads still run detectable Ruby in production. GitHub, Shopify, Basecamp, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/\">Kickstarter<\/a>, Twitch, Etsy and Zendesk are well-known Rails-built products, though a few early Rails sites (Twitter, Groupon) have since migrated parts of their stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is Ruby still used for web development in 2026?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Its detectable web footprint is smaller than PHP, Python or Java but larger than Perl, and it stays over-represented among startups and developer tools \u2014 visible in the outsized&nbsp;<code>.io<\/code>&nbsp;share of Ruby domains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How can I get a list of websites made with Ruby?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The complete detected list is available as a daily JSON Lines export, filterable by country and TLD, with each row carrying DNS, WHOIS, IP, hosting country and ranking alongside the domain.
