Review summary

Pros: easy to use, quick Lighthouse analysis in Firefox desktop, and time-saving reporting features. Cons: lacks localhost testing, frequent test failures/load errors, and reliance on an external Lighthouse viewer (internet needed) which hampers local testing. Android support is limited and Chrome tends to perform better for Lighthouse. Overall, convenient for quick checks but unreliable for local development or offline testing.

Pros

Easy to use and simple experience
Provides Lighthouse analysis in Firefox desktop, saving time
Quick saving and printing of Lighthouse reports
Helps analyze the site and reduces dependence on PageSpeed Insights

Cons

No localhost/local development testing; can't scan local sites
Frequent test failures and page load/document errors
Relies on redirect to external Lighthouse viewer / requires internet; not suitable for local testing

I know Google prefers that, but it's not Google's website, it's mine, and it's not Google's users, they're mine, so it kind of makes this useless to have Google make a decision for me that I'm not interested in seeing desktop stats, when I actually am more interested in them than the mobile stats.

2024-12-11	De*****	This is a simple time-saver addon that works exactly as intended and advertized on Firefox desktop (haven't used it on mobile). I love its simplicity—and the easy access menu for saving and printing reports. Sadly, most of the 1-star reviews seem due to "lack of localhost support" from people that can't be bothered to read the addon description. It requires only a modicum of critical thinking skill to set up free dynamic DNS services for public "localhost" access, and even setting up free LetsEncrypt SSL certificates for secure https access to locally staged development sites is somewhat trivial. Note to addon dev: perhaps add a bit more about this (localhost use requires x) to the product description, though skimmers are still gonna skim.
