## What it is
Lighthouse CI is a suite of tools for continuously running, saving, retrieving, and asserting against Lighthouse audit results in a CI pipeline. It helps teams catch performance, accessibility, and SEO regressions on every commit and track metrics over time.

## Use cases
- run lighthouse audits on every pull request
- prevent performance regressions in ci
- set performance budgets for javascript and images
- track lighthouse scores over time
- compare two versions of a site for resource regressions
- add lighthouse reports to github actions

## When to choose
- you want automated Lighthouse audits on every commit or PR
- you need to enforce performance budgets and block regressions in CI
- you want historical tracking of web performance metrics with a dashboard

## When to avoid
- you only need a one-off local Lighthouse audit without CI integration
- you need load or stress testing rather than page-level performance auditing
- your project is not a website or web app

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: testing, benchmarking, ci-cd, monitoring, analytics
- domain: web-development, performance, developer-tools
- platform: cli
- tags: lighthouse, web-performance, performance-budgets, continuous-integration, github-actions, web-vitals, regression-detection, devops, nodejs, docker, web-server
