Hi,
I am writing a blog post for my blog.
I want to know whether Google scores sites for their performance. I have heard that it is good to add Google analytics to analysis website. Google can directly know which website is better by analyzing bounce rate, conversion rate and many other factors. Google also track RSS feed stats, social metrics.
So I want information with reference really Google track site's performance.

Short answer: yes — Google does use performance signals, but not by reading your private Google Analytics account. was right to list page speed; the important nuance (and the common confusion has) is which performance signals Google actually uses and where those numbers come from.

Google made page speed an official ranking signal back in 2010 and expanded that to mobile with the “Speed Update” in 2018. In 2020 Google introduced Core Web Vitals and folded them into the Page Experience ranking work (rolled into Search in 2021). For the official announcements see the site-speed and page-experience posts. Using site speed in web search ranking, Speed Update (mobile) 2018, Core Web Vitals / Page Experience (2020). (developers.google.com)

How Google measures that performance: they use real-user (field) data such as the Chrome User Experience Report (CrUX) and lab tools like Lighthouse/PageSpeed Insights for diagnostics. That means Google relies on aggregated, anonymized user-experience datasets rather than a site owner’s private GA reports. See the CrUX overview and tool notes. CrUX overview. (developer.chrome.com)

About bounce rate / Analytics: Google employees have repeatedly said Google does not pull a site’s Google Analytics metrics (bounce rate/time-on-site from your GA account) into ranking. The practical takeaway: measure and improve engagement for users, but don’t expect installing GA to directly change rankings. For discussion and official quotes see coverage summarizing Google’s stance. (searchenginejournal.com)

Practical next steps: use Search Console’s Core Web Vitals report, PageSpeed Insights and Lighthouse to find LCP/INP (formerly FID)/CLS issues; fix large images, render-blocking scripts, unstable layout elements, and slow server response. Prioritize content relevance first — performance tiebreaks similar pages.

Yes, Google score the sites as per their performance. Means;

How quick their pages load
bounce rate
Visitors time on the site
content sharing
etc
