What is VeltoPHP?

VeltoPHP stands for Versatile Lightweight Tool — a minimalist PHP framework designed for speed, simplicity, and security.

Versatile

Flexible enough for small to mid-size applications and various project types.

Lightweight

Minimal dependencies, ultra-fast, and no bloated core — just the essentials.

Tool

More than a framework — a tool you can trust and carry across any PHP project.

Where VeltoPHP Shines

  • Developers looking for a fast & lightweight framework
  • Prototyping and quick MVP builds
  • Small to mid-sized applications
  • Educational use for learning modern MVC patterns
  • Apps on low-resource hosting or limited environments

Where VeltoPHP is NOT ideal

  • Enterprise-scale apps with high traffic and complexity
  • Apps requiring deep integrations or high scalability out-of-the-box
