How this comparison was built

Scores are medians across 1679 audited core-js sites and 64 audited Ruby on Rails 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.

Which has better security, core-js or Ruby on Rails?
Ruby on Rails sites score higher on security analysis (68 vs 66 on average).
Which has better accessibility, core-js or Ruby on Rails?
Accessibility scores measured by Lighthouse WCAG 2.1 checks favor core-js (88 vs 86). 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, core-js or Ruby on Rails?
