Website speed is no longer a “nice to have.” A fast, stable, and responsive site is one of the most powerful drivers of user experience, SEO performance, and conversions.
For years, the industry has debated: “Which platform is faster—WordPress, Wix, or another CMS?” The latest independent data finally gives us the answer.
Core Web Vitals Report: July 2025 Update
The Core Web Vitals Technology Report, released by the open-source HTTPArchive project, analyzed how six major CMS platforms perform in real-world conditions. The results are eye-opening:
Duda — 84.96%
Wix — 73.37% 🎉
Squarespace — 68.93%
Drupal — 60.54%
Joomla — 54.78%
WordPress — 44.34%
While Duda takes first place, Wix stands out as the clear leader among mainstream platforms, outperforming Squarespace, Drupal, Joomla, and—perhaps most surprisingly—WordPress.
Why This Matters for Your Business
At Cincodemayo Branding, we build websites across all major platforms, including WordPress, Shopify, WooCommerce, Showit, Squarespace, Google, GoDaddy, and of course, Wix. Every platform has its strengths, and the right choice depends on your goals, industry, and resources.
That said, the data is clear: when it comes to speed and performance out of the box, Wix consistently gives businesses an advantage.
Reduced bounce rates thanks to faster load times.
Higher rankings in Google, as search engines reward speed and Core Web Vitals compliance.
Better brand perception, because today’s users equate performance with professionalism.
Why We Recommend Wix More Than Ever
We don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all.” But when clients ask us for a platform that balances ease of use, high-end design, and measurable performance, Wix is often our top recommendation.
Pairing a Wix site with our Advanced SEO strategies creates a digital foundation that isn’t just functional—it’s built for growth.
