Lighthouse is an open-source automated auditing tool from Google that analyzes web pages for performance, accessibility, SEO, and best practices, generating actionable reports. It can be run from Chrome DevTools, a Node CLI, as a Node module, or via CI integrations like Lighthouse CI.
Use cases
- audit my website's performance and core web vitals
- check accessibility and SEO issues on a web page
- run automated performance audits in CI to catch regressions
- measure page load metrics like LCP and TBT
- audit a progressive web app against best practices
- generate a performance report for a URL from the command line
When to choose
- you need standardized web page quality audits for performance, accessibility, SEO, and best practices
- you want to gate deployments on performance regressions via Lighthouse CI
- you want audits runnable from DevTools, CLI, or programmatically in Node
When to avoid
- you need real-user monitoring (RUM) rather than lab-based synthetic audits
- you need load testing or stress testing of servers
- you need to audit non-web applications or native mobile apps
