Choose Google Cloud Trace when your primary concern is server response time and best practices. Its audit data shows consistent strength in these areas across the sampled sites.
Google Workspace doesn't clearly lead Google Cloud Trace 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 39 audited Google Cloud Trace sites and 1879 audited Google Workspace 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.
