Run Lighthouse

Everything happens on the single /lighthouse screen - there is no URL field, no dialog, and no per-report page. Pick the domain in the header selector, choose a strategy when the control is offered, press Run Lighthouse, and the new report lands at the top of the list with its four scores and six page-load metrics.

How it works

  • Press Run Lighthouse and read the four category gauges plus six page-load metrics on the new report card
  • Three different limits decide whether a run starts: the metered plan quota, the browser capacity slots, and whether any strategy is enabled
  • Lighthouse is the only audit that needs a real browser, which is why it is slower, bounded by a timeout, and retried

Good to know

  • A run opens a real headless Chrome, so it is far heavier than the image-optimization audit and a failure leaves the raw backend error string on the card
  • Manual runs are metered: on managed tenants the button reads Lighthouse limit reached next to a usage line such as 3 of 25 monthly manual checks used.
  • Strategies are conditional - the Lighthouse strategy control is hidden when only one strategy exists, and the button reads Lighthouse is disabled when neither is available
