Market and trust evidence

Edition not yet matched

No exact skills.sh identity match is available for this repository. Repository adoption and freshness remain visible above; install momentum is not inferred.

Trust analysis is a screening signal, not a security warranty. Read the ranking and trust methodology.

In practice

Written by AI from this repository’s README · medium confidence

Lighthouse audits one URL at a time, so site wide performance and SEO regressions stay invisible.

Use it when

Use it when you want a whole site audit in one command before or after a deploy.

Not the right pick when

Needs a recent Node runtime and writes report files locally, so it is not a drop in CI step without setup.

Capabilities

  • scans an entire site with Google Lighthouse
  • modern UI for browsing results
  • minimal config and smart sampling
  • debug mode via --debug for troubleshooting scans
  • reports written to a configurable outputDir

Requirements

  • Node >= 22.18.0

Cost: Free and open source
