## WebAssembly features

The initial release of WebAssembly was considered an MVP. In common with other web standards, it is continually evolving under the governance of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). This year saw the announcement of the WebAssembly version 2.0, adding a number of new features. The version 3.0 shows the true vision and its potential for WebAssembly.

SIMD stands for Single Instruction, Multiple Data. SIMD instructions are a special class of instructions that exploit data parallelism in applications by simultaneously performing the same operation on multiple data elements. Compute intensive applications like audio/video codecs, image processors, are all examples of applications that take advantage of SIMD instructions to accelerate performance. Most modern architectures support some variants of SIMD instructions.

SIMD is a new feature and isn't yet available in all browsers with WebAssembly support. In the Year 2021, We had found SIMD extension usage in 20 Wasm modules on desktop and 21 Wasm modules on mobile clients, This feature usage is now increased with 2265 Wasm modules on desktop and 2470 on mobile clients.

With respect to the total extension usage in Year 2021, It is observed that total extension usage in 2025 drastically ~61 times more on desktop clients and ~80 times more on mobile based clients. To make the usage of very complex tasks, the WebAssembly, We have marked the Bulk Memory stats are increased to 8936 times higher on desktop and 25,512 times higher on mobile clients with respect to Year 2021 stats.

## Conclusions

There is a significant increase in the number of webpages using this technology for serverless, containerisation, machine learning components and plug-n-play types of applications. The future of WebAssembly could be as a niche web technology, but as an entirely mainstream runtime on a wide range of other platforms. WebAssembly runtime (multi-language, lightweight, secure) are making it a popular choice for a wider range of non-browser applications for agnostic platforms.

Despite being a niche technology, WebAssembly is already adding value to the web. There are a number of web applications that benefit greatly from this technology. However, web applications are often not visible to the ‘crawl’ which forms the basis of this study.
