About Lighthouse

Lighthouse loads a page under controlled conditions and scores it on performance, accessibility, best practices and SEO, listing the specific problems found and their estimated cost. It runs from Chrome's developer tools, a command-line tool, a Node module or CI.

Strengths

  • Turns vague performance complaints into a specific, prioritised list
  • Runs in CI as well as in the browser, so regressions can be caught

Limitations

  • Scores vary between runs and depend heavily on the machine and network
  • A good score is not the same as a fast experience for real users
