About Lighthouse CI
Lighthouse CI is a suite of tools from the Google Chrome team for running Lighthouse continuously. It runs audits for every commit in a continuous integration pipeline, lets you view how scores and metrics change, and can fail a build to prevent regressions.
It is separate from Lighthouse itself, which audits a page on demand. It suits development teams that want performance, accessibility and best-practice checks built into their build process.
Strengths
- Runs Lighthouse automatically on every commit
- Shows how results change between builds
- Can block regressions in CI
Limitations
- Needs a CI pipeline to be useful
- Aimed at developers rather than one-off testing
