How this comparison was built

Scores are medians across 88 audited Azure sites and 1 audited Lithium 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.

Small sample: one or both technologies have fewer than 10 audited sites. Treat these numbers as directional — medians stabilize around 20–30 audits per side.

Which has better accessibility, Azure or Lithium?
Accessibility scores measured by Lighthouse WCAG 2.1 checks favor Lithium (99 vs 92). Both technologies can be made fully accessible with care — the difference reflects common patterns in the sampled sites, not inherent platform limits.
Which is better for SEO, Azure or Lithium?
Lithium sites score higher on Lighthouse SEO signals (100 vs 89 on average), which cover meta tags, crawlability, mobile friendliness, and structured data. Content strategy and backlinks still matter more than platform choice for ranking.
