Choose Microsoft 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 Salesforce

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

How this comparison was built

Scores are medians across 2421 audited Microsoft sites and 25 audited Salesforce 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.
