Introducing DealerDB - an Open Source Dealership Database

Introducing DealerDB (in public Beta)

Many vendors claim to be "the best," but such statements are often just talk. That’s why we built DealerDB – an open-source dealership database that helps back our claims with data. DealerDB analyzes over 12,000 dealers and nearly all website providers, monitoring their performance over time.

DealerDB’s primary metric is the “ performance score ” – a weighted calculation of key Web Vitals, including First Contentful Paint, First Input Delay, Largest Contentful Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift, Time to First Byte, and Interaction to Next Paint.

The performance score provided by DealerDB offers a comprehensive view of a website's health, focusing on elements that directly affect user experience. Improving these metrics can lead to better user engagement, satisfaction, and ultimately, higher conversion rates.

While working on DealerDB, we made sure to further optimize Driverseat websites to make sure that our dealers consistently outperform the competition. Try DealerDB today and see how your dealership stacks up!
