CLI tool and lib to gather performance metrics via Lighthouse.
Documentation on these metrics in the works. If you hit bugs in the metrics collection, report at Lighthouse issues. How to use article
$ yarn global add pwmetrics
# or
$ yarn add --dev pwmetrics
$ pwmetrics <url> <flags>
pwmetrics http://example.com/
# --runs=n Does n runs (eg. 3, 5), and reports the median run's numbers.
# Median run selected by run with the median TTI.
pwmetrics http://example.com/ --runs=3
# --json Reports json details to stdout.
pwmetrics http://example.com/ --json
# returns...
# {runs: [{
# "timings": [
# {
# "name": "First Contentful Paint",
# "value": 289.642
# },
# {
# "name": "First Meaningful Paint",
# "value": 289.6
# },
# ...
# --output-path File path to save results.
pwmetrics http://example.com/ --output-path='pathToFile/file.json'
# --config Provide configuration (defaults to `package.json`). See _Defining config_ below.
pwmetrics --config=pwmetrics-config.js
# --submit Submit results to Google Sheets. See _Defining submit_ below.
pwmetrics --submit
# --upload Upload Lighthouse traces to Google Drive. See _Defining upload_ below.
pwmetrics --upload
# --view View Lighthouse traces, which were uploaded to Google Drive, in DevTools. See _Defining view_ below.
pwmetrics --view

## CLI options useful for CI
##
# --expectations Assert metrics results against provides values. See _Defining expectations_ below.
pwmetrics --expectations
# --fail-on-error Exit PWMetrics with an error status code after the first unfilled expectation.

Recipes for using with CI
# run pwmetrics with config in package.json
pwmetrics --expectations
package.json
...
"pwmetrics": {
"url": "http://example.com/",
"expectations": {
...
}
}
...
# run pwmetrics with config in pwmetrics-config.js
pwmetrics --expectations --config=pwmetrics-config.js
Submit results to Google Sheets
Instructions:
- Copy this spreadsheet.
- Copy the ID of the spreadsheet into the config as value of
sheets.options.spreadsheetId
property. - Setup Google Developer project and get credentials. (everything in step 1 here)
- Take a
client_secret
and put it into the config as value ofclientSecret
property.
# run pwmetrics with config in package.json
pwmetrics --submit
# run pwmetrics with config in pwmetrics-config.js
pwmetrics --submit --config=pwmetrics-config.js
pwmetrics-config.js
module.exports = {
'url': 'http://example.com/',
'sheets': {
...
},
'clientSecret': {
...
}
}
Upload Lighthouse traces to Google Drive
Instructions:
- Setup Google Developer project and get credentials. (everything in step 1 here)
- Take a
client_secret
and put it into the config as value ofclientSecret
property.
# run pwmetrics with config in package.json
pwmetrics --upload
# run pwmetrics with config in pwmetrics-config.js
pwmetrics --upload --config=pwmetrics-config.js
pwmetrics-config.js
module.exports = {
'url': 'http://example.com/',
'clientSecret': {
...
}
}
Show Lighthouse traces in timeline-viewer.
Required to use
upload
flag
timeline-viewer - Shareable URLs for your Chrome DevTools Timeline traces.
# run pwmetrics with config in package.json
pwmetrics --upload --view
# run pwmetrics with config in your-own-file.js
pwmetrics --upload --view --config=your-own-file.js
pwmetrics-config.js
module.exports = {
'url': 'http://example.com/',
'clientSecret': {
...
}
}
All metrics now are stored in separate constant object located in pwmetrics/lib/metrics/metrics
;
// lib/metrics/metrics.ts
{
METRICS: {
TTFCP: 'firstContentfulPaint',
TTFMP: 'firstMeaningfulPaint',
TTFCPUIDLE: 'firstCPUIdle',
TTI: 'interactive',
SI: 'speedIndex'
}
}
