Introduction

Unlighthouse is an entire site audit tool, built with a modern UI for scanning live and development sites using Google Lighthouse.

Getting Started with the CLI

To start using Unlighthouse with production sites, you'll be using the CLI.

Using the CLI is the quickest way to get familiar with Unlighthouse and is recommended for new users.

Features

  • Accurate Performance Metrics
  • Minimal configuration

Trade-offs

  • No feedback when fixing bugs

Example Run

Using pnpm dlx (recommended) - requires pnpm.
