I visited the homepages of the 14.8 million sites in Google's Chrome UX Report in October.

I thought jQuery would be dead, but it's still on 53.7% of sites, and it seems to be tied quite tightly to the platform. Webflow puts it on 97.6% of its sites, WordPress on 84.9%. For contrast, React is on 10.6% of sites.

jQuery helped me get into web development, and I guess it still gets the job done even if redundant with browser standards these days...

Yeah, it’s something tuning up a larger site for lighthouse and delaying at least a dozen scripts.
