lighthouse VS web-vitals

Google Core Vitals now represent the most important metrics to focus on when it comes to technical SEO. Google Core Vitals are a set of standardized metrics that Google uses to evaluate the user experience offered by a web page and assign it a technical SEO grade. Several tools exist to measure and report technical SEO performance, but the most reliable is Google Lighthouse.

- referred to https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/issues/6512 but didnt see network.disable error - added staticdistdir as per https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse-ci/blob/main/docs/configuration.md,

There has been discussion about adding a visual indicator to make the mode more obvious, but it has not made it into Chrome devtools!

I haven't tried it, but you might be able to control throttling by using lighthouse to get performance data: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/blob/main/docs/throttling.md

When we implemented the MVP of the fintech app, we had a quite complicated form. At that time, I was still young and inexperienced. And eventually, we realized that our project was slowing down. We had to spend additional hours figuring out the reason. We had many unnecessary re-renders because we ignored basic rules related to props in React. I wanted to do everything possible to avoid such situations in the future. So, I added to the project linters like this and an additional starting configuration to package.json to run why-did-you-render. In short, this plugin issues a warning if something is re-rendered unnecessarily and suggests how to avoid it. Also, we included running Lighthouse in headless mode. Some people say that premature optimizations are bad, but for me, it's a principle: do it right from the start.

You can run a Lighthouse audit in two ways: either on the command line or in a browser. If you want to run audits on the command line, you will first need to install the Lighthouse command:

i wanted to run the lighthouse(lh) docker container on multiple EC2 instances in different regions. I'm thinking of triggering the EC2 instance with the lambda function once the lh container has audited the URL the results will be sent "SUB rest API" which will further update the UI

There's a link to what they mean by mobile network there (https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/blob/main/docs/throttling.md) and it says:

Here's the non-psuedo code equivalent that can leverage CompressionStream rather than using a browserified-gzip-library: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/blob/437eb4d757c5...

We use it in Lighthouse for the exact same purpose, a URL #hash full of state. We found that modern browsers support 10mb of data in the hash. https://github.com/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/pull/12509#discus...

Lighthouse: This is an open-source tool developed by Google that allows you to audit the performance of your website. You can use Lighthouse to get a detailed report on your website's Core Web Vitals, as well as other performance metrics. You can run Lighthouse in Chrome DevTools or as a command-line tool.

You will be pleased to know that isn’t actually the case and it’s a suite of metrics instead known collectively as core web vitals https://web.dev/vitals/

Let's go back to 2020, this was when Google made a big change regarding their performance rating -- they introduced the Core Web Vitals. I want to discuss this timeframe because it was the last point where there is clear comparable data between the performance metric set (5 metrics) and the Core Web Vitals (3 metrics). The Core Web Vitals is a subset of the performance metric set.

Beyond elevating the user experience, another clear benefit of speeding up the rendering of a website is search engine optimization (SEO). Speed is so important to ranking well on search engines that it’s included in Google’s published description of what their indexers use to rank websites for performance, called Core Web Vitals.

This is something we won't ever be able to measure, as it depends on how people perceive the overall experience on their device, but it boils down to perceived performance. So by all means, optimize your mobile apps and web frontends, test on old devices and slow networks (even if only emulated), and monitor their real-user performance (e.g. through Web Vitals). As part of performance testing, have a look on electricity use, as it will both be directly associated with emissions to produce that electricity, and be perceptible by the user (battery drain). And don't forget to account for the app downloads as part of the overall perceived performance: light mobile apps that don't need to be updated every other day, frontend JS and CSS that can be cached and won't update several times a day either (defeating the cache).
