The kagome metals of the family AV<sub>3</sub>Sb<sub>5</sub> exhibit intriguing phenomena like chiral charge order and superconductivity. CsV<sub>3</sub>Sb<sub>5</sub> displays a double superconducting dome where charge order persists. This study combines high-pressure, low-temperature muon spin relaxation/rotation with first-principles calculations to investigate this behavior. A threefold enhancement of the superfluid density with a double-peak feature is observed, mirroring the superconducting critical temperature. Three distinct regions in the phase diagram are identified, each with unique slopes in the superfluid density-critical temperature relationship. This suggests an evolution of the charge order pattern from a superimposed tri-hexagonal Star-of-David phase at low pressures to a staggered tri-hexagonal phase at intermediate pressures, indicating varying competition with superconductivity.
