MonsterInsights outperforms jQuery Migrate in 7 of 7 categories, with a stronger composite score (80 vs 76). jQuery Migrate leads in no categories.
jQuery Migrate doesn't clearly lead MonsterInsights in any category on the sampled sites — pick it based on developer experience, ecosystem, or existing team skills rather than the audit scores.
Choose MonsterInsights when your primary concern is server response time and performance. Its audit data shows consistent strength in these areas across the sampled sites.
Scores are medians across 586 audited jQuery Migrate sites and 40 audited MonsterInsights 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.
