wp.cloud outperforms jQuery in 7 of 7 categories, with a stronger composite score (80 vs 74). jQuery leads in no categories.
jQuery doesn't clearly lead wp.cloud in any category on the sampled sites — pick it based on developer experience, ecosystem, or existing team skills rather than the audit scores.
Choose wp.cloud 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 2263 audited jQuery sites and 3 audited wp.cloud 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.

Small sample: one or both technologies have fewer than 10 audited sites. Treat these numbers as directional — medians stabilize around 20–30 audits per side.
