Hi there,

The app basically offers a handy user interface on top of Google's PageSpeed Insights API. It allows you to analyze URLs in bulk and save the reports for later references. Also, you can regenerate the saved reports for fresh results.

I called this functionality "Automatic Checklists."

The app offers "Manual Checklists", too. Those are exhaustive checklists with items in the form of "tasks". The idea is for those tasks to model real-life JIRA tickets, which will be very useful for interns and junior developers.

As a start, there are two manual checklists, "Front-End Checklist" and "NextJs SEO Checklist."

Any feedback is very welcome :)

PS. I'm a JS full-stack developer and blogger from Bulgaria, so I'm not a native English writer.

What does this actually do, other than running lighthouse on my page and displaying the result?

Thanks for your question...

It allows you to analyze URLs in bulk (up to 50) and to save your reports in the cloud for futures references.

So let's say you pick 6 major types of pages: Homepage, Category Page, Product Page, Short Blog Post Page, Long Blog Post Page, Blog Post With Embeds.

You can analyze them with PSI all together, save their reports and track your progress. When you fix a couple of issues, you can reanalyze the same URLs (they are saved in the form of a "audit blueprint").

That way you get fresh scores and issues, and you track your progress.

Rather than this, I would like to see an article that integrates Lighthouse with Next. How can developers see lighthouse score in the CLI as they build new features?

Thanks, sounds reasonable

would be so funny if they... just removed all the JS!

Sorry, that can't happen :) JS is here to stay...

I realised that and it makes me sad.
