Framework Comparison
How TiCore (Tuxxin Integrated Core) stacks up against the most widely-used PHP frameworks on features that matter for production — particularly the built-in SEO and accessibility capabilities that no other framework ships out of the box.
✅ Built-in | ⚠️ Partial / setup required | ❌ Not included (package / manual)
SEO & Open Graph Suite
TiCore is the only framework that ships a complete SEO suite in its default
layout. Every other framework requires third-party packages (e.g. artesaos/seotools
for Laravel) or fully manual tag management.

Why TiCore Is Different
Every major PHP framework treats SEO as an afterthought — something you bolt on with a Composer package after the fact. TiCore was built from day one with a production-grade SEO layout that any developer can use immediately, without reading package documentation, writing Blade components, or maintaining a custom base template.
The result: every page on a TiCore site gets correct canonical URLs, rich Open Graph tags, Twitter/X cards, Google Analytics, and Schema.org JSON-LD structured data — with a single controller call and zero extra dependencies.
