How do Competitor scores compare my site with my competitors?

Open Track, then Competitor scores. Each competitor you add is checked with Google PageSpeed when you add it and again every Sunday at 6am your time, and the table sets their speed score, SEO score and loading times against yours. These are page speed and on-page scores, not search rankings: Search Console only reports your own positions.

#The summary line

At the top, one sentence says where you stand, for example "You're ahead of 2 of 3 competitors on performance score", and whether they load faster than you. When you are behind, Close the gap opens Site Audit, where the fixes that lift your score are listed.

Your side comes from your project's latest scan with speed figures. If you have none, it says Scan your own site to see how you compare and offers a scan.

#The table

For each competitor:

• Their and Yours: Google PageSpeed performance score on mobile, out of 100, and the difference (positive means you lead). A badge says You lead, Behind or Tied.
• LCP: how long until the biggest thing on the page loads. Under 2.5 seconds is good.
• FCP: how long until the first content appears. Under 1.8 seconds is good.
• TTFB: how quickly the server answers. Under 800ms is good.
• Score: a small trend of their score across the Sunday checks.

Buttons on each row:

• First look: only shown until the first check has landed. After that the Sunday refresh does it.
• Compare with their site: opens Topic gaps for that competitor. See compare your site with a competitor.
• Show details: opens Where they beat you with what to do about each gap, Performance vs Yours bars and Score History. Close the gap and Add to to-do turn the gaps into work.
• Remove competitor.
