1. WordPress is used by 35% of websites on the internet.
It’s hard to believe, but WordPress.com and Netcraft estimate that 35% of the web is powered by this previously obscure content management system. WordPress’ popularity is due to its exceptional adaptability, which enables it to be used in a wide range of settings, from tiny personal blogs to large corporations like Sony Music and Forbes.com. With an estimated 1.3 billion active websites, this means that around 455 million websites use WordPress today.
2. For every month, there are an average of 700,000 fresh posts and 77 million fresh comments.
Over 2,333,333 new posts are made every day, 97,222 posts are made every hour, and 1,620 new posts are made every minute. With an average post length of 300 words, WordPress is generating about 500,000 words each minute. (source)

4. Every six months, WordPress registers more than 1.1 million new domain names.
WordPress is now powering an extra 1.1 million websites every six months, according to a worldwide internet CMS usage survey conducted in 2015.
