The open-source auditing tool Google ships inside Chrome and inside PageSpeed Insights. It simulates a mobile page load and scores your site across performance, SEO, accessibility, and best practices.
Why it matters
Lighthouse is the same engine Google uses to rank your site — so its score isn't advisory, it's the report card. Our restaurant audit runs a real Lighthouse scan on your URL and translates the numbers into specific fixes for your business.
