In 2026, Sierra Leone hosts approximately 12,450 websites utilizing various CMS platforms, reflecting a steady digital expansion driven by local businesses and NGOs. Nearly 18% of these websites migrated to more modern CMS solutions this year, indicating a shift towards more flexible and scalable website management tools. WordPress remains dominant, powering nearly two-thirds of local websites, with Joomla and Drupal also maintaining significant shares.
Despite growth, website load times average around 4.2 seconds, highlighting ongoing infrastructure and hosting challenges. The annual website growth rate of 8.5% suggests increasing online activity, with more organizations establishing a digital presence. As Sierra Leone continues to develop digitally, improved hosting infrastructure and CMS migration support will be crucial for sustaining this momentum.
