Millions of people across the globe are already benefiting from the qualities of Laravel. At the latest count, 1.65 million websites are currently powered by Laravel. The most significant features that make it our framework of choice are as follows:

Security

Laravel comes with exceptionally high standards of security. You can be confident that it has the technology in place to protect you from the most common and persistent types of cyber security threats. This also means the debugging process is rapid. 

Compatibility with tools

When you start working with Laravel, you get more than a basic development framework. There are a host of plugins and tools that make your life easier. These include Larastan, an analytics tool for checking your code, and Laravel Dusk, a browser automation tool. Laravel is also compatible with other web app frameworks such as React and Vue.js.

Open source

The fact that Laravel is a free, open-source PHP web framework means it is publicly accessible. It is maintained by a team of full-time developers who constantly work to continue its upward momentum. There are new releases every year, and Laravel’s widespread use ensures plenty of ongoing support from its community of users.  

Progressive framework

Laravel comes with an extensive library that includes documentation and tutorials. If you are a business leader, or a developer, this user-friendly option helps you get the best out of this web development framework. Developers like Laravel because its features make their lives much easier.
