7.2Why Lighthouse CI?

Lighthouse is Google's open-source auditing tool for web page quality. Lighthouse CI (LHCI) wraps Lighthouse in a CI-friendly package that can:

  • Run Lighthouse audits against multiple URLs
  • Assert that scores and metrics meet defined thresholds
  • Compare results against a baseline (previous builds)
  • Upload results to a server for trend visualization
  • Run multiple times per URL and report median results
