Frequently asked questions

1

What are the runtime requirements?

Node.js 22.0.0 or newer and Chrome/Chromium (automatically managed by Lighthouse).

2

How do I use authenticated sessions with cookies and local storage?

Launch with a persistent Chrome profile using `--profile-path <path>` and `--no-headless`. Profile mode disables storage reset so sessions persist across audits.

3

Can I attach to an existing Chrome instance?

Yes, use `--chrome-port <port>` or `--remote-debugging-port <port>` to connect to a Chrome instance launched with remote debugging enabled. Pass `--profile-path` to preserve storage.

4

What tools are available for web analysis?

Tools include `run_audit`, `get_performance_score`, `get_core_web_vitals`, `get_accessibility_score`, `get_seo_analysis`, `check_performance_budget`, `analyze_resources`, `find_unused_javascript`, and `get_security_audit`.

5

Does the server support WSL2?

Yes, set the Chrome binary path explicitly via `--chrome-path` or the `CHROME_PATH` environment variable to select the correct Linux binary.
