About the project

FrankenPHP is a PHP application server built on top of Caddy, supporting worker mode, Early Hints, HTTP/2 and HTTP/3, automatic HTTPS and hot reloading. It runs any PHP app and can be embedded as a Go library.

  • Speed up Laravel or Symfony using worker mode instead of PHP-FPM
  • Embed PHP into a Go app via net/http as a library

1.6 Steady Magnitude out of 10 — how fast interest is growing, not a quality score.

Star growth looks organic. Data as of October 23, 2026, 12:44 UTC.

The star-growth assessment does not verify whether the project is safe to run.

Stars per day

02040July 26, 2026October 23, 2026

Bars show stars per UTC day; the line is a moving average of available history. Gaps mean missing data, not zero growth. Today's bar is incomplete. Red marks spike days.

Why it’s trending

  • Star-counter measurements on 2026-10-23 (UTC), 11:07–12:39: 11454 → 11454 stars (+0). This is the change over that interval.
  • Estimated end-of-day forecast: about +2 stars, using observed gains and the previous day.
  • Elevated gains were measured on the last 2 completed UTC days in a row. Continued growth is not guaranteed.
  • GitHub Trending Go today: #7, +8 stars.

Measured growth: the last 7 completed days

New stars over 7 days: 58. +314% versus the preceding 7 days.

Star trust

Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.

These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
