Efficient Lighthouse Report Generation for Firefox
The Lighthouse Report Generator is a Firefox extension designed for web developers and IT professionals seeking to evaluate the performance of web pages. By utilizing Google's Lighthouse audit tool, it allows users to quickly analyze any publicly hosted website directly from their browser without the need for Chrome or the command line interface. This tool streamlines the auditing process, making it accessible directly within the Firefox environment.
Currently, the extension is limited to publicly hosted websites and does not support local sites or those modified with a hosts.txt file. Users can easily generate performance reports by simply navigating to the desired page and activating the extension, which then processes the data through the web.dev measurement platform. This makes it a valuable tool for anyone looking to enhance web performance and ensure compliance with best practices.
