What is Google Lighthouse?

Google Lighthouse is an open-source, automated tool for measuring and improving the quality of web pages. It can be run against any web page, whether public or requiring authentication, and provides audits for performance, accessibility, progressive web apps, search engine optimization, and more.

• Comprehensive testing capabilities: It includes audits for performance, accessibility, progressive web apps, and search engine optimization
• Integration options: Lighthouse can be used in Chrome DevTools, from the command line, or as a Node module, allowing for flexible integration into various development workflows
• Actionable insights: The generated reports highlight areas for improvement, with reference documentation on why each audit is important and how to fix any issues
• Continuous integration support: Lighthouse CI can be used to prevent regressions on web sites by running audits as part of the build process.
