When I am hiring I always look at personal websites if they are available. They provide a more realistic picture of the person and their interests, the resume is too formal an optimized for marketing.

If you have a site, and it has content, and shows more about what you are interested in, it counts a lot for me. Extra points if it links to code in GitHub.

But not any website will do, if it feels like an 5-minute thoughtless effort, with an empty template and a single entry dated 4 years ago saying "TODO", then it will count against you.
