Google Analytics outperforms Lodash in 5 of 7 categories, with a stronger composite score (73 vs 72). Lodash leads in no categories.
Choose Google Analytics when your primary concern is server response time and performance. Its audit data shows consistent strength in these areas across the sampled sites.
Lodash doesn't clearly lead Google Analytics in any category on the sampled sites — pick it based on developer experience, ecosystem, or existing team skills rather than the audit scores.
Scores are medians across 1936 audited Google Analytics sites and 225 audited Lodash sites in the BeaverCheck database. Every audit runs the same 100+ checks — Lighthouse performance, security headers, accessibility, SEO, server response time — against a real URL. No vendor input, no sponsorship, no affiliate links.
