Full Changelog

This is a maintenance release on the stable 1.6 branch.

Master branch (tagged at 2.0.0-alpha) is under some heavy refactors, so we're holding off on shipping a new version. Expect one by mid-May. ( Poke around recent PRs and issues if you're curious what we're up to ;)

In the meantime, only a few changes here in 1.6.5:

Audits

Notable Changes

WebPageTest integration is in beta

By popular demand, you will soon have a way to run Lighthouse on demand in the cloud. We've worked closely with WebPageTest to enable Lighthouse auditing and analysis from within a WPT run. Our contribution WPO-Foundation/webpagetest#825 was just merged and Lighthouse on WPT is currently in private beta.

Lighthouse's CLI output has taken a chill pill - #1764

While you can view all Lighthouse results on the command line, it hasn't scaled well. A few screenworths of report was generally dumped to stdout right as Lighthouse finished up. Now, to keep your terminal happy, you will no longer see the reams of results printed to stdout. The HTML report is saved to disk by default, and you can automatically open it with lighthouse --view.

If you still want the stdout output, use --output=pretty. Oh so pretty.

CI coverage for Windows via AppVeyor - #1280

Thanks to a large effort from @XhmikosR, we now have an eye in the sky on Lighthouse's Windows compatibility. Now, all PRs are tested on both Linux and Windows.

New audits

New audit: DOM stats (total nodes, depth, width). (#1673) Get flagged if the size or depth of your DOM is big enough to cause big slowdowns.
New audit: Total byte weight audit (#1759). An extra check to make sure folks don't ship 5MB webpages.

Notable Changes

Dropped support for Node earlier than v6 - #1519

Node v6 became the Node long-term-support version in October 2016. After a suitable mourning period for v4 with a --harmony flag, Lighthouse has moved on and will only support v6+ going forward.
Improved selection of First Contentful and Meaningful Paint events from unusual traces - #1632, #1634

Lighthouse has banished the dreaded -1 score that has long plagued runs for certain sites.

First Meaningful Paint is now detected much more robustly. While it is not yet a completely solved problem, a large class of these errors should be eliminated. Reporting on these errors has also improved over the ambiguous -1, clearly differentiating between an issue with Lighthouse and an issue with the page being tested.
Open local report in online report Viewer - #1179

When viewing a Lighthouse HTML report generated locally—in the extension or from the command line—a new option is available in the "Export..." dropdown that allows you to upload to the Lighthouse Online Viewer.

You can then use the Viewer share button to get a report URL that you can share freely.

Behind the scenes, Viewer gets your permission via OAuth to create a GitHub secret gist and saves the report there. Since it's done as your gist, you maintain full control over the sharing of the report and you can delete it at any time. You can revoke the Viewer's permission to create gists under your GitHub settings.
Performance metrics are injected into trace saved with --save-assets for viewing in timeline - #1446

Lighthouse metrics like "First meaningful paint", "Time to Interactive", etc are mocked out as User Timing measures and injected back into the trace taken by Lighthouse.

If you save a run's trace with --save-assets and then open it in DevTools or Timeline Viewer, you'll be able to see your key metrics in context with the full trace of the page load.
Throttling and emulation information in report - #1485, #1608, fc858ea

It's easy to forget what throttling and emulation settings were used for a particular Lighthouse run after some time has passed. The settings used are now saved in the raw JSON results and are printed at the top of the HTML report under the arrow dropdown.
UI to interactively block certain page resources and measure the load performance difference

The first version of the Performance Experiment project is landing in 1.5.0. When Lighthouse is run with the --interactive flag, a special report is generated that allows interactive selection of costly page resources. The experiment server then reruns Lighthouse on that page with those resources blocked.

This lets you experiment with your page load performance, interactively testing the effects of blocking or delaying assets in your critical path.

New Audits

CSS usage - #1421, #1479, #1466, #1496, #1557

Reports the number of unused style rules in your page and the byte/time savings of removing them:
Image optimization - #1452, #1579

Reports images that are unoptimized and the byte/time savings of optimizing them:
Report Chrome's deprecated API warnings - #1470

Lists console warnings from Chrome if your page is using deprecated APIs or features that have interventions:
Responsive image sizing - #1497

Reports images that are too big and the potential byte/time savings of sizing them correctly for the given device:
