How to use Chrome Lighthouse to analyze a Node.js / backend code?


Lighthouse, a part of the Chrome Developer Tools, provides great reports and analytics for the app frontend code.

I'm curious to know, is it possible to apply Lighthouse on a code, running on Node.js, in other words, is it possible to use a power of Lighthouse for analyzing a backend?


Solution

  • Lighthouse wouldn't work for NodeJS. There a lot of things in lighthouse that wouldn't be applicable to backend code, such as SEO improvements etc.
