Ahrefs vs OpenCart

Ahrefs (BTW we use OCaml) and OpenCart (PHP based open source ecommerce platform) both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

Ahrefs and OpenCart sit at essentially the same overall ecosystem score (41), which is unusual and worth reading through the pillars below.

On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), OpenCart is ahead of Ahrefs. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), OpenCart is ahead of Ahrefs. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), OpenCart is ahead of Ahrefs. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Ahrefs is clearly ahead of OpenCart.

Ahrefs carries 1,303 GitHub stars across 171 public repos, with 28 repositories active in the last 90 days and 7 external contributors on record. OpenCart shows 8,157 stars across 2 public repos, 1 active in the last 90 days and 26 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but OpenCart's footprint is roughly 6.3x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.

Ahrefs is the stronger read for anyone weighting momentum. OpenCart looks better where education is the deciding factor. The table below breaks the scores down pillar by pillar; the linked profiles cover the underlying repos, docs and community signals in full.
