Unlighthouse is a CLI tool and web dashboard that scans entire websites using Google Lighthouse, aggregating results across all pages and presenting them in a real-time, filterable dashboard. The architecture is a monorepo with separate packages for core scanning logic, CLI, CI integration, a Vue 3 client, and a small h3 server for serving reports and WebSocket updates. Key entry points include the `unlighthouse` CLI (via `cac`), the `unlighthouse-ci` CI command, and the `createUnlighthouse` function from `@unlighthouse/core`. Primary data flows: URL discovery (sitemap, robots.txt, crawling), parallel Lighthouse runs via `puppeteer-cluster`, streaming results to the client, and exporting reports (HTML, JSON, CSV, LHCI). External dependencies include Puppeteer (Chrome), Lighthouse, and optionally the CrUX API for historical field data. The codebase is well-structured, uses ESM, and has a modern build pipeline with Vite and Vitest. Some integrations (Nuxt, Vite, Webpack) are deprecated, but the core functionality remains actively maintained. The client UI is feature-rich, with dark mode, search, pagination, and detailed audit result views.
This repository is a Webpack plugin that integrates Google Lighthouse for running performance and quality audits during the build process. After Webpack emits assets, the plugin triggers Lighthouse against a specified URL, collects the report, and optionally saves artifacts like screenshots and traces. The codebase consists of two main parts: a Webpack-specific plugin that taps into the compiler's afterEmit hook, and a reusable Lighthouse runner module that handles Chrome lifecycle management, audit execution, and result processing. The project is explicitly marked as deprecated in the README, advising users to use Lighthouse directly instead.
