Technology proposal: MathJax

MathJax is a JavaScript display engine for mathematics that works in all browsers.

It is very popular nowadays, with more than 179 million monthly users (creating 3.3 billion requests and 70TB traffic) last month. As such, it should - in my opinion - be included.

Thank you for that proposal. We started collecting data for MathJax usage.

Thanks a lot! One question: For data crawling, do you include subdomains as well? For example crawling stackexchange.com alone might not reveal that how much MathJax is used in its subdomains, such as worldbuilding.stackexchange.com, stats.stackexchange.com, math.stackexchange.com, ..etc. which all use MathJax and have a significant number of daily visitors.

We do count all technologies we find on any page of a site, including subdomains. However, we do not do deep crawls, so we might miss a library if it is used only on some part of a website.

But when I go to for example https://w3techs.com/sites/info/math.stackexchange.com it redirects to stackexchange.com. Is there anyway this can be made to work with subdomains?

We combine the data we find on any page or subdomain into one report, and we show this combined dataset on our site.
