Although single object trackers have achieved advanced performance, their large-scale models make it difficult to apply them on the platforms with limited resources. Moreover, existing lightweight trackers only achieve balance between 2-3 points in terms of parameters, performance, Flops and FPS. To achieve the optimal balance among these points, this paper propose a lightweight full-convolutional Siamese tracker called LightFC. LightFC employs a novel efficient cross-correlation module (ECM) and a novel efficient rep-center head (ERH) to enhance the nonlinear expressiveness of the convolutional tracking pipeline. The ECM employs an attention-like module design, which conducts spatial and channel linear fusion of fused features and enhances the nonlinearly of the fused features. Additionally, it references successful factors of current lightweight trackers and introduces skip-connections and reuse of search area features. The ERH reparameterizes the feature dimensional stage in the standard center head and introduces channel attention to optimize the bottleneck of key feature flows. Comprehensive experiments show that LightFC achieves the optimal balance between performance, parameters, Flops and FPS. The precision score of LightFC outperforms MixFormerV2-S by 3.7 \% and 6.5 \% on LaSOT and TNL2K, respectively, while using 5x fewer parameters and 4.6x fewer Flops. Besides, LightFC runs 2x faster than MixFormerV2-S on CPUs. Our code and raw results can be found at https://github.com/LiYunfengLYF/LightFC
