Re @josephscott You can also do comparisons like React vs. Vue vs. jQuery
In terms of Core Web Vitals (which Google says is used as a ranking signal) we have jQuery > React > Vue. Per above, this is highly confounded with what users do, but I still find these silly comparisons fun

Re You can also see CWV, INP, etc.
Those are confounded by what users do, so they're less about the host, but per https://danluu.com/slow-device/, there's value in looking at the default experience as well as what users actually do due to what's made easy or hard.

TIL http://archive.org provides a performance dashboard with slice and dice capability
E.g., you can sort big WordPress hosts by TTFB. Below are the fraction of sites that are "good" (I'd prefer to see the distribution, but this is easily available)
