Reviews of lighthouse:
New update that removes it from the developer tools limits the functionality to only giving it an URL. This limits websites that use auth in different ways such as cookie tokens, tab exclusive auth tokens, etc. It opens on a new tab which I rather not.
Good plugin but would be more useful if it also included desktop tests. Only mobile tests are currently being performed
Lighthouse dev tools is a good utility tool from chrome web store.
It works, but the problem is that it hasn't been updated in so long that it is using an old Lighthouse version. Even get a lil notification saying that. So it's better to just use an alternative means of getting this data.
i like it so far!
Very useful, not complicated
i like it so far!
good choice , well worth a look
its very nice
Sadly, this hasn't been updated since Version 8.0 and the latest is 8.3. If you rely on this tool now, you're getting a way different reading from what Google is getting.
Neat. I'm not a programmer but it's a lil entartaining seeing the report of sites. Does it's stuff
This is pretty useful!I the only things I think is missing are: 1. Present both mobile/desktop results instea of each separetly, we actually need both! 2. Please add the locale query string parameter into the settings (My clients are spanish speakers, so I have to add &locale=es to each new report. Thanks!!!
I like having the choice between the extension and the option in devtools. Can you document somewhere what version of axe is being used for the accessibility checks? Axe 4.2 has about twice as many accessibility tests as lighthouse so it would be good to understand the differences in a clear manner.
It doesn't support incognito mode. If I run a test in incognito mode, it opens the test result in normal browser, fix this issue plz then it will be worth of 5*
It is very useful toll, when it will be updated? Last Updated November 20, 2019
Just got introduced into Lighthouse 6.0 and I honestly love the features it has to offer! The small suggestions on what should be changed on the website do help for those freelance web developers with no design experience. Thank you Devs!
good plugin.
dont show in extension bar
useful
Waiting for Lighthouse results ... after 5s Error rendering report: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined
Good Tool! It can be used for quick results.
Used to work offline as version 5.4.0.0 but now with version 100.0.0.0 it fails while it looks for gitHub.
Lighthouse is a MUST for any serious dev. I use it in conjunction with the WebHint extension.
This extension is now built in to Chrome dev tools.
Very good app... Suddenly crashed though...

helpfull
Works good but can you update to the latest light house version to match web.dev ?
essential. every web site developer should test their sites with this and fix any reported issues. The screenshots are out of date - it looks nicer than it shows. :-)
The overview forgets to mention, you don't need this extension anymore - the feature it built into DevTools in the current version of Chrome. Installing this gives you nothing new. Just use the "Audits" tab in DevTools.
Simply one of the best performance tools you can use. It only continues to improve.
good potential. Currently limited to 1 use case only. More detail should be given for the 3G network simulation as that means many different speeds depending on country.
Best ever I found in my 12 years career.
I think this tool has great potential, but unfortunately, at the moment it is only possible to run an audit emulating on mobile Nexus 5X and using a 3G network connection, which doesn't make much sense to me. At its current state, I'll stick to the DevTools version, where it's possible to choose the emulation options.
Why is this emulating a nexus... on a 3G network? Does anyone even use 3G anymore? Lets get a bit more modern and use LTE or WIFI speeds and stop throttling, or at least allow user running the test to set their own environment.
Awesome...
Great App,I hope there will be more features
Great extension !!!
Excellent utility!!!
Doesnt work for Chrome in Mac. The browser is updated to the latest version. It doesn't even give any error or compatibility issues with other plugins that I am using.
Excellent for testing and debugging issues!
Fantastic tool for developing Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and optimizing your site for its full potential!
ดีมากๆ ครับ
Awesome tool. Highly recommended.
Easy to use. Good extension! Thanks!
Good extension.
Works great i have got a lot of use.
Broken. Records page load times as REALLY long incorrectly
This has stopped working, was fine a few days ago.
Latest version broke. :( Good thing there's an alternate way in Chrome to run the report.
Good tool for Onsite SEO and web dev.
Good! Extension is very useful
Very useful so far. Also frightening.
Very useful. Takes a minute to understand the true value of what the numbers represent but then its fantastic
Really quick, useful tool to help me spot errors across clients sites.
This has been a great help while optimizing my websites.
功能性不强
Keep it up ! Still need some further improvement.
It always try to run mobile checks first, so sites redirect to mobile version and this bornbroken thing start to test only mobile site.
Outstanding!
Great tool to assisting an SEO and web devOps!
Broken. Tried repeatedly, different sites, always sticks on "Loading page & waiting for onload".
Sometimes works, sometimes doesnt work. Overall good.
Report says : Open new tabs using rel="noopener" to improve performance and prevent security vulnerabilities. But, a rel=noreferrer has the same behaviour as noopener. Update must be made.
Great tool, very very helpful
Great tool. The node CLI is great too. I've used with chrome on windows 10 and my 2015 macbook pro.
Very helpful tool!
So useful and so easy to get into.
Simply superb
It is good for a quick checkup, but it ignores offline functionality implemented with app cache (which is still necessary while Edge and Safari lack service worker support).
Quick perf rule analysis that takes into account making the web 'Reliable' for your users. Confirms you are caching content for offline scenarios with service workers. Love It!
It is awesome tool to test service worker functionality in application by developer and other people who wants to verify the service worker implementation.
