Announcing the Web Performance Leaderboard
The SpeedVitals Team is delighted to announce the Web Performance Leaderboard.
Our team at SpeedVitals is extremely enthusiastic about Web Performance and we love to see Fast Websites. As a token of appreciation, we wanted to create a Hall of Fame for the World's Fastest Websites.
The Web Performance Leaderboard can be accessed from perf.report.
The rankings are based on a custom score that factors in the Core Web Vitals score. The Core Web Vitals score is obtained using Google Chrome's Public Dataset called CrUX (Chrome User Experience) Report.
Our score takes into account both the Mobile and Desktop Performance. The metrics used for the calculation are Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), and Interaction to Next Paint (INP). LCP has the highest weightage in the score.
For now, the rankings are only available for the Top 100K most popular websites in the World (by traffic). We eventually plan to expand the list to the Top 1 Million websites. However, the performance score is available for all websites whose past 2 months of CrUX Data exist.
