Lighthouse Details
When integrated, you can view the page speed and mobile usability details of any highlighted URL. This will require a crawl to be connected to the PageSpeed Insights API.
To pull these metrics, simply to go ‘Configuration > API Access > PageSpeed Insights’, insert a free PageSpeed API key or choose to run Lighthouse locally, and then connect and run a crawl.
With data available, selecting a URL in the top window will provide more details in the lower window tab.
The left-hand window provides specific information on both the metrics extracted and available opportunities specific to the highlighted URL. Clicking an opportunity will display more information in the right-hand window. This consists of the following columns:
- The Source Page – The URL chosen in the top window.
- URL – The linked resource which has opportunities available.
- Size (Bytes) – The current size of the listed resource.
- Potential Savings – The potential size savings by implementing highlighted opportunity.
Please see our PageSpeed Insights integration guide for full detail of available speed metrics and opportunities.
