What are Google Lighthouse Audits?

Google Lighthouse is an open-source quality testing tool built by Google. It
analyses a given url and performs a series of audits, with useful
recommendations on how to improve.

No need to run Lighthouse manually – schedule a regular audit of your site to be made automatically at an interval of your choice.

RapidSpike uses live test environments to simulate real conditions, which are more accurate than running tests locally.

Select locations around the world for your tests, and choose to audit via mobile or desktop.

Record your results and trend improvements over time. Export your results to save and share with your team.

Google Lighthouse, But Better

Set up your preferred interval, regions and devices, then just push a button. We’ll do the rest.

All your audits, in full, returned in a clear and easy-to-read dashboard. Audits are categorised, so you can see what you passed, failed, and what audits are performed manually.

Each audit can then be opened to show a detailed explanation, remediation, plus a link to Google’s resources.

Seamless Scheduled Testing

Your audit scores trended over time, so you can clearly identify where you are improving and the areas you need to focus on.

We provide a filterable history, showing previous audit results. As we can provide Lighthouse progress over time, this means we can show you how your ongoing improvements are affecting your page.
