Magento vs Yoast

Magento and Yoast (This is where the Yoast.com team shares its public code: from our WordPress plugins to other small projects.) both appear on the Smoower Developer Ecosystem Index.

Magento and Yoast sit at essentially the same overall ecosystem score (49), which is unusual and worth reading through the pillars below.

On code quality (the state of repositories, tests, releases and polish), Magento is slightly ahead of Yoast. On education (docs, guides and learning material for developers), Yoast is slightly ahead of Magento. On community (issue response, PR reviews and discussion health), Magento is slightly ahead of Yoast. On reach (how visible the ecosystem is beyond its own repos), Magento is slightly ahead of Yoast. On momentum (release cadence and how fast the ecosystem moves), Yoast is ahead of Magento.

Magento carries 18,718 GitHub stars across 97 public repos, with 20 repositories active in the last 90 days and 32 external contributors on record. Yoast shows 3,439 stars across 78 public repos, 12 active in the last 90 days and 21 external contributors. The star gap on its own does not decide the comparison, but Magento's footprint is roughly 5.4x larger, which usually shows up in downstream signals like inbound issues and third party integrations.

Magento is the stronger read for anyone weighting community. Yoast looks better where momentum 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.
