jQuery outperforms ASP.NET in 7 of 7 categories, with a stronger composite score (75 vs 73). ASP.NET leads in no categories.

When to choose ASP.NET

ASP.NET doesn't clearly lead jQuery in any category on the sampled sites — pick it based on developer experience, ecosystem, or existing team skills rather than the audit scores.

When to choose jQuery

Choose jQuery when your primary concern is server response time and best practices. Its audit data shows consistent strength in these areas across the sampled sites.

How this comparison was built

Scores are medians across 67 audited ASP.NET sites and 2360 audited jQuery sites in the BeaverCheck database. Every audit runs the same 100+ checks — Lighthouse performance, security headers, accessibility, SEO, server response time — against a real URL. No vendor input, no sponsorship, no affiliate links.
