How this comparison was built

Scores are medians across 11 audited Elasticsearch sites and 1021 audited React 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.

Based on real BeaverCheck audits, Elasticsearch sites score higher on Lighthouse performance (43 vs 38 on average).
Which has better security, Elasticsearch or React?

Which has better accessibility, Elasticsearch or React?
Accessibility scores measured by Lighthouse WCAG 2.1 checks favor Elasticsearch (93 vs 89). 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, Elasticsearch or React?
