But why is https://w3techs.com/technologies/history_overview/ssl_certif... saying Let’s Encrypt has 0.1% when https://letsencrypt.org/stats/ says 32 million Fully-Qualified Domains Active?
32 million = 0.1% 32 000 million SSL certs? = 100%
? what?
32 million = 0.1% 32 000 million SSL certs? = 100%
? what?
Not many people use Let's Encrypt's own root for their validation chain when they use Let's Encrypt certificates. The Let's Encrypt root is not propagated widely enough across clients.
We (Let's Encrypt) have a cross-signature from IdenTrust, that's what most people use because it's widely trusted. IdenTrust issuance is otherwise very small, so you can effectively consider the IdenTrust numbers in charts like this to be a proxy for Let's Encrypt.
