Configuring Google Lighthouse #

Unlighthouse uses the lighthouse node module to perform scans.

Lighthouse configuration #

Any configuration available to lighthouse can be passed through on the lighthouseOptions key to change the behaviour of the reports.

See lighthouse configuration for details.

export default {
  lighthouseOptions: {
    throttlingMethod: 'devtools',
  }
}

Aliases #

Unlighthouse aims to minimise and simplify configuration, where possible.

For this reason, a number of configurations aliases are provided for your convenience.

• Switching device: mobile and desktop
• Toggle Throttling

You can always configure lighthouse directly if you are comfortable with the configuration.

Selecting Categories #

By default, Unlighthouse will scan the categories: 'performance', 'accessibility', 'best-practices', 'seo'.

It can be useful to remove certain categories from being scanned to improve scan times. The Unlighthouse UI will adapt to any categories you select.

Only Performance and PWA

export default {
  lighthouseOptions: {
    onlyCategories: ['performance', 'pwa'],
  }
}

All Categories including PWA

If you'd like to scan your app with the PWA category use:

export default {
  lighthouseOptions: {
    onlyCategories: ['performance', 'best-practices', 'accessibility', 'seo', 'pwa'],
  }
}
