Website Builder Index: 11 out of 15 systems pass Google’s Core Web Vitals more often than WordPress

Every month, I analyse how many websites in Germany pass Google’s Core Web Vitals, broken down by website builder, CMS and shop system. The basis is measurement data from real visits in Chrome.

How the index is made

The data comes from the HTTP Archive Core Web Vitals Technology Report. It is based on Google’s Chrome UX Report, meaning measurements from real visits in Chrome. I use the figures for Germany, across websites of all sizes.

A website passes the Core Web Vitals when three values are good for at least 75% of page views: the largest content loads within 2.5 seconds (LCP), the page responds to input within 200 milliseconds (INP) and the layout barely shifts (CLS up to 0.1).

The HTTP Archive detects which system a website uses automatically from its source code. Sites with Elementor, Divi or WooCommerce run on WordPress and are also included in its figure. Only systems with at least 1,000 websites make it into the ranking.

The index shows a correlation, not a cause. Builder sites are often simpler than custom WordPress sites, and a well-built WordPress site can be very fast. The data is published with a delay of about six weeks, and I update the index every month.

FAQ

Questions and answers.

Which website builder loads fastest in Germany?

In September 2026, websites built with Jimdo pass Google’s Core Web Vitals most often, at 98.0%. They are followed by Duda (93.0%) and Wix (90.9%). The data comes from real visits in Chrome.

Why does WordPress do worse than many website builders?

WordPress is by far the most widespread system and ranges from lean sites to heavy themes with page builders. Overall, 63.1% pass, with Elementor or Divi only 53.6% to 53.9%. This is a correlation, not a cause: a well-built WordPress site can be fast.

What are the Core Web Vitals?

Three metrics Google uses to rate user experience: how fast the largest content loads (LCP, good up to 2.5 seconds), how fast the page responds to input (INP, good up to 200 milliseconds) and how much the layout shifts (CLS, good up to 0.1).

How often is the Website Builder Index updated?

Every month, as soon as the HTTP Archive publishes new Chrome UX Report data. This is usually mid-month for the month before last. All figures since March 2024 are in the CSV file.
