The article emphasizes that Google Lighthouse is just one of the tools to evaluate the performance of the website and does not provide a full image about the real performance of the website. Although the tool can provide a lot of useful information about the performance of the site, it does not reflect the real state of things.

🧠 Google LighThouse uses simulated data that is fast to use, but they do not reflect the real user conditions. These data are used for rapid testing in certain conditions, but they sacrifice accuracy, assuming the speed of connection of visitors to the site.

💡 The article also notes that Google LighThouse does not affect Core Web Vitals, which are standard Google metrics to measure performance. These metrics use real users data from the monthly updated Chrome User Experience (CRUX) report.

  • 📌 Google LighThouse is just one of the performance measurement tools.
  • 📌 LighThouse uses simulated data that may not reflect the real experience of users.
  • 📌 Lighthouse does not affect Core Web Vitals.
🧩 Summary: Despite the benefit of using Google Lighthouse, this tool does not provide a complete image about the performance of the website. Real monitoring of users should be used to obtain the most complete and accurate image.
🧠 Your own considerations: Google LighThouse can be a useful tool for rapid performance, but it is important to use additional tools such as real user monitoring to get the most accurate results.
