Django outperforms Microsoft in 7 of 7 categories, with a stronger composite score (77 vs 73). Microsoft leads in no categories.
Choose Django when your primary concern is performance and server response time. Its audit data shows consistent strength in these areas across the sampled sites.
Microsoft 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.
Scores are medians across 50 audited Django sites and 2477 audited Microsoft 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.
