When to choose Django

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

When to choose Google Tag Manager

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

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.
