Google Search Console outperforms jQuery Migrate in 4 of 7 categories, with a stronger composite score (74 vs 75). jQuery Migrate leads in composite score.
Choose Google Search Console when your primary concern is server response time and performance. Its audit data shows consistent strength in these areas across the sampled sites.
jQuery Migrate doesn't clearly lead Google Search Console 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 4121 audited Google Search Console sites and 453 audited jQuery Migrate 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.
