• Extensible through a large ecosystem of user-contributed packages
• Backed by an active international community of mathematicians and developers with ongoing maintenance
• Well-documented with extensive manuals, tutorials, and reference material
• Cross-platform, running on Linux, macOS, and Windows
• Trusted and widely used in academic research and teaching for decades

Recommended for

• Mathematicians and researchers working in group theory, ring theory, and discrete algebra
• University students learning abstract or computational algebra

We have collected here some useful links to help you find out if GAP is good.

• Public traffic stats of GAP

  Check the traffic stats of GAP on SimilarWeb. The key metrics to look for are: monthly visits, average visit duration, pages per visit, and traffic by country. Moreoever, check the traffic sources. For example "Direct" traffic is a good sign.

• Domain Rating (DR)

  Check the "Domain Rating" of GAP on Ahrefs. The domain rating is a measure of the strength of a website's backlink profile on a scale from 0 to 100. It shows the strength of GAP's backlink profile compared to the other websites. In most cases a domain rating of 60+ is considered good and 70+ is considered very good.

• Domain Authority (DA)

  Check the "Domain Authority" of GAP on MOZ. A website's domain authority (DA) is a search engine ranking score that predicts how well a website will rank on search engine result pages (SERPs). It is based on a 100-point logarithmic scale, with higher scores corresponding to a greater likelihood of ranking. This is another useful metric to check if a website is good.
