Which JavaScript Chart Library is Fastest? We Benchmarked 8 of Them.


Developers evaluating charting libraries for high-performance applications ask the same question: which one actually holds up under real data loads?


We built an open-source benchmark to find out.

What is Chart Bench?

Chart Bench is an open-source JavaScript chart performance benchmark suite that stress-tests popular charting libraries across 13 test cases - including line, scatter, heatmap, candlestick, 3D surface, and multi-chart scenarios.

It measures:

  • Frames per second (FPS)
  • Time to first render (init time)
  • Memory usage
  • Data ingestion rate (points/sec)

The benchmark is designed to simulate extreme workloads: millions of data points, real-time streaming, and multiple charts on screen.

It runs locally on your hardware, logs results, and allows JSON export for sharing or comparison.

Clone and run it:
https://github.com/abtsoftware/javascript-chart-performance-test-suite

Libraries Tested

  • SciChart.js
  • LightningChart.js (v4 + v8)
  • Plotly.js
  • Highcharts
  • Chart.js
  • Apache ECharts
  • uPlot
  • ChartGPU

What It Measures

  • FPS under increasing data loads
  • Time to first render (ms)
  • Memory usage (JS heap)
  • Data ingestion rate (points/sec)
  • Failure conditions: hangs, freezes, crashes

One Number Worth Knowing

In internal benchmark runs, SciChart.js reached ~40 million data points per second ingestion rate and led in FPS across a majority of tested scenarios on a range of hardware.

Full results - across multiple hardware configurations from high-end GPUs to low-power devices - are published here:

https://www.scichart.com/blog/chart-bench-compare-javascript-chart-libraries/

SciChart is a high-performance charting library for JavaScript, WPF, iOS, and Android, designed for real-time, large-scale data visualisation using GPU-accelerated rendering.

Core tech stack, publisher brands

Burda’s digital publisher brands, which include Focus Online, Chip and Bunte.de, are being united under the BurdaForward subsidiary. The various brands are decentralised and, for historical reasons, have their own IT architectures and developer teams who work with different programming languages.


Organised into “Jobs to be Done” teams, BurdaForward is no longer structured according to brands and products, but based on the jobs that the products perform for users. The “Content Technologies” team offers the individual “Jobs to be Done” teams a central content platform – a technical foundation. Job teams can work completely independently of the content platform, draw on complete services, or develop their own features on the content platform stack. All technologies used will be unified into a core tech stack that will be made available to the developers on the job teams.

Lets talk about Benefits - the Burda Way!

Gute Jobs erkennt man heute nicht mehr nur an spannenden Aufgaben oder einem attraktiven Gehalt. Nein es ist mehr!

Entscheidend in heutigen Zeit sind es die Benefits und zwar diese, die wirklich etwas bewegen:

Sie fördern die Gesundheit, schaffen Balance zwischen Job und Privatleben, geben finanzielle Sicherheit und eröffnen und neue und echte Entwicklungsperspektiven.


Arbeiten bei Burda heißt nicht umsonst arbeiten "in good company".

Ob Gesundheitsangebote, flexible Arbeitsmodelle, finanzielle Vorteile oder individuelle Weiterbildung - bei uns greifen diese Bausteine ineinander. 

So entstehen Benefits, die nicht nur überzeugen, sondern auch den Unterschied machen.


Klickst du auf die beigefügte Bilder, erhältst du einen kleinen Einblick welche Benefits wir unter anderem bei Burda anbieten.

Muss ein Karriereweg wirklich geradlinig sein? Nö!

Bei uns muss eine Karriere kein vorgezeichneter Weg auf einer Treppe mit klar markierten Stufen sein. Du entscheidest, was Du aus unseren Angeboten und Deinen Möglichkeiten machst – und ob Du überhaupt auf eine Treppe kraxeln möchtest.

Sanja hat bei uns als Praktikantin angefangen und ist inzwischen Vice President Corporate Lending. Ihr Zita bringt es auf den Punkt: "Die Karriereleiter bei der ING ist, was Du daraus machst."

Du bestimmst selbst, welche Schritte für Dich sinnvoll sind, welche Richtungen Du einschlägst und wo Du bewusst Neues ausprobierst.

Sanja ist nur ein Beispiel von vielen, die gezeigt haben: Karriere muss nicht planbar aussehen, um richtig gut zu sein.  Am Ende zählt, dass Du Deinen eigenen Kurs fährst – auch wenn der mal eine Schleife dreht.
