{
  "pagespeed": {
    "pages": ["/", "/404"]
  }
}

config.son

You can also pass a custom config json, there are some examples:

  • pagespeed
{
  "pagespeed":{
    "strategy" :  [ "mobile", "desktop"], // Strategy to use when analyzing the page. this is the base settings, you can only use mobile | desktop
    "locale": "en_US", // Locale results should be generated in.
    "threshold": "70", // Threshold score to pass the PageSpeed test. Useful for setting a performance budget.
    "pages": ["/"]. //Array of relative pages to analyze, default is only / (please, use relative path)
  }
}
  • lighthouse

For full list of settings options see here.

{
  "lighthouse":{
    "extends" :  [ "lighthouse:default" ], // (string|boolean|undefined) The extends property controls if your configuration should inherit from the default Lighthouse configuration.
    "settings": {
      "onlyCategories": ["performance"],
      "onlyAudits": ["works-offline"],
    }, // (Object|undefined) The settings property controls various aspects of running Lighthouse such as CPU/network throttling and audit whitelisting/blacklisting.
