Sitecore Benchmarks

Large enterprises with complex marketing, content, and integration needs.

A corporate marketing site with personalization.

• Sitecore powers large enterprise marketing sites with complex personalization and governance. Editorial discipline is high -- publishing workflows create consistent content.
• When Sitecore sites perform well, it required deliberate investment. The platform doesn't optimize by default; it optimizes when a team makes it.
• Brand governance on Sitecore sites is enterprise-grade. Design systems, content standards, and publishing rules show up in measurable consistency.

• Personalization creating indexability challenges -- content that changes based on visitor context is content Google can't consistently read.
• Large JavaScript bundles from Sitecore's JSS (JavaScript Services) layer. The headless architecture adds framework weight.
• Third-party tag management adding significant script overhead. Sitecore sites have high third-party script counts, second only to AEM.

• Sitecore sites have the highest rate of cookie consent implementation of any platform we benchmark. Enterprise organizations take compliance seriously, and the consent tooling shows up on nearly every Sitecore site in our corpus.
• Sitecore sites show the highest rate of personalization-related JavaScript in our corpus. The targeting scripts that drive personalization create measurable page weight -- visible in script counts and load time distributions.
