WordPress and WooCommerce Website Performance Metrics Across Traffic Levels

A snapshot dataset from 2026 contains performance metrics for 100 real-world websites, split evenly between WordPress and WooCommerce platforms. It includes mobile and desktop PageSpeed scores, Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS, INP), page size, request counts, and JavaScript and image sizes. The sites are categorized by traffic volume, with 30 low, 40 mid, and 30 high-traffic sites.

Use Cases

• Benchmarking WordPress vs. WooCommerce site performance based on Core Web Vitals and PageSpeed scores.
• Analyzing the correlation between website traffic levels and key performance metrics like LCP and INP.
• Identifying optimization targets for page size and JavaScript payloads across different CMS platforms.
• Researching the impact of image and script sizes on mobile versus desktop performance scores.

Strengths

• Contains a structured comparison of 50 WordPress and 50 WooCommerce sites, providing a balanced sample.
• Includes multiple key performance indicators (KPIs) such as Core Web Vitals and PageSpeed scores for both mobile and desktop.
• Categorizes sites into three distinct traffic levels (low, mid, high), enabling stratified analysis.

Limitations

• The dataset's size is listed as 13997 (likely bytes), but the exact row count is not specified across sources.
• Represents a single snapshot in time; performance metrics are dynamic and may have changed since collection.
• Documentation is incomplete, with column names not explicitly listed, requiring inference from the description.
