How can I automate Lighthouse tests for my website?

You can automate Lighthouse tests using tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or by integrating it into your CI/CD pipeline.

Can you give me an example of a GitHub Actions workflow for this?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

name: Lighthouse CI

on:
  push:
    branches:
      - main

jobs:
  lighthouse:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout code
        uses: actions/checkout@v2
      - name: Install Lighthouse
        run: npm install -g lighthouse
      - name: Run Lighthouse
        run: lighthouse https://yourwebsite.com --output=json --output-path=./report.json

What kind of metrics can I expect from the Lighthouse report?

Lighthouse provides metrics like Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, SEO, and Progressive Web App (PWA) scores.

How often should I run these tests?

It's a good practice to run Lighthouse tests regularly, such as after every deployment or at least once a week to monitor performance.
