Audit without a page refresh?

[NamKot]

Hi there! Lighthouse is a great tool that generates a consolidated report of performance, accessibility and best practices report. The webapp we are currently developing is a SPA (single page application) which throws an error on refreshing the page. Due to security concerns (since it is a Test Delivery application), refresh is disallowed.

It would be a great feature if the report could be generated in a separate tab/window without page reload.
If the above is supported, it would help to run the tool against multiple sequential webpages (including single page application).
i did see a few posts on the same lines, but found it helpful to mention the scenario above.

Thanks!

The only option I see at the moment is to run multiple lighthouse runs with 3 different configs as they only run 1 pass.

If you need help I'm happy to support you with an example.

@NamKot what details do you want from Lighthouse in this case? PWA? Performance? Best practices? Accessiblilty?

In some cases we can provide them without a reload.. However performance requires a load... What part of the report is your priority? thanks!

Is there is a way we can audit page flows using lighthouse. example, page1 -> page 2-> page N. If I use lighthouse to audit page N, single page going page1 instead of page N. Is there are any other techniques to achieve this.

lighthouse only supports 1 page. If you need to test for multiple pages you can have a look at https://github.com/github/lightcrawler which hasn't been updated for a while.

There are probably other projects that does something similar.

Can audit page N using lighthouse without refreshing, in my app if I audit page N, it loses all the browser state and going to the home page. So my question is can be able to use a lighthouse without page reload.
