PHP rankings: how to read the ecosystem behind the stars

PHP powers over 75% of websites with known server-side languages, including WordPress, which alone runs 40% of the web. Modern PHP (8.x) with its JIT compiler, union types, and frameworks like Laravel has shed its legacy reputation to become a productive, well-designed language.

Laravel has revitalized the PHP ecosystem, offering an elegant developer experience comparable to Rails. Combined with WordPress, Drupal, and Symfony, PHP remains the most pragmatic choice for web development, especially for content management and e-commerce platforms.

We rank the top 50 PHP repositories by total GitHub stars. The prominence of Laravel and WordPress projects reflects PHP's dominance in content-driven web development.

Data is sourced from the GitHub REST API and updated daily. Rankings reflect cumulative star counts across each repository's lifetime and should be read as a discovery aid rather than a quality certification. See Methodology & Editorial Standards.
