Why Your Lighthouse Score Is Gaming You

from The Web Development Podcast with Fexingo: Frontend, Backend, and Modern Web Stack · host Fexingo

Lucas and Luna dig into the hidden flaws of Google's Lighthouse performance score — how the weightings misalign with real user experience, why a perfect 100 can still feel slow, and what tools like WebPageTest and the Chrome User Experience Report actually tell you. They break down the specific scoring categories, the gap between lab data and field data, and practical steps to audit your audits. If you've ever chased a green Lighthouse badge only to wonder why your site still drags, this episode is your reality check. #Lighthouse #WebPerformance #CoreWebVitals #PerformanceAuditing #LabVsField #Frontend #WebDev #Tech #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #WebDevelopmentPodcastWithFexingo #LucasAndLuna #PerformanceScore #WebPageTest #CrUX #SiteSpeed #SEO #DeveloperTools Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
