How this shortlist is built

Repositories tagged topic:cms with 500+ stars, excluding awesome-lists, starters, plugins, site generators, visual site builders, admin-panel frameworks, and adjacent tools (galleries, forums, security scanners). Only systems you can deploy to manage content.

Stars measure popularity, not suitability. “License undeclared” means GitHub detected no SPDX license — check the repo before commercial use. Activity is the repo's last commit date. Rankings are never sold and sponsors never affect order.
