To run a Lighthouse audit on your website, execute automated Lighthouse scans via CLI or Node API to evaluate speed, accessibility, and best practices. You can generate detailed HTML or JSON reports for in-depth analysis and comparison between builds.

You can integrate Lighthouse performance testing into CI/CD pipelines by automating execution using GitHub Actions or LHCI. This enables continuous monitoring in continuous integration workflows to verify staging sites meet predefined score thresholds after deployment.

Yes, you can define resource and timing limits as performance budgets to maintain site efficiency during development. Setting performance budgets helps identify performance bottlenecks early and ensures optimal website speed and accessibility.

Running Lighthouse via CLI executes website scans locally or within pipelines to generate reports, while the programmatic Node API allows developers and QA teams to execute audits and integrate continuous monitoring directly into custom scripts and workflows.

Yes, you need npm to install Lighthouse globally before running web audits. Once installed, you can run an audit on a website, save the report, and easily check performance scores to identify performance optimization opportunities.
