Can we get some stats on Markdown usage on WordPress.org? https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2026/03/03/markdown-now-available-on-wordpress-org/#comment-9823
First round: Number of requests this month that hit ?output_format=md
Next round: Can we find a way to record stats going forward?
We’d need to record either a) Content-Type: text/markdown output (preferable), or b) Accept: text/markdown...... input.
I would suggest making bump_stats_extra() a delayed /var/spool process but nginxNGINX NGINX is open source software for web serving, reverse proxying, caching, load balancing, media streaming, and more. It started out as a web server designed for maximum performance and stability. In addition to its HTTP server capabilities, NGINX can also function as a proxy server for email (IMAP, POP3, and SMTP) and a reverse proxy and load balancer for HTTP, TCP, and UDP servers. https://www.nginx.com/. is going to cache the output anyway..
