Love to see the community!

May I also recommend @benschwarz.bsky.social 's excellent GitHub action to automate compression for any new images added:
github.com/calibreapp/i...

Happy to submit a PR to set up a workflow for this if interested?

Actually I was speaking to some of the Firefox Profiler team who are interested in adding some of this functionality. Probably not the custom tracks though they said. So you might get the data points at some point, but not the nice visualisation.

And anyway. Chrome DevTools are the best! 😁

As an experiment, we (the Firefox team) wanted to try a new way to get feedback on which Interop proposals matter most.

So, here's a web app where you can rank the proposals you care about, giving us data we can use when reviewing which ones to champion.

Nope. Not everything is a conspiracy! :-)

Just most of us have never seen it actionable ourselves. Have you found it useful?

The docs also link to the source code for each Insight for those really wanting to get into the detail. This is especially important IMHO since they don’t live in the Lighthouse code anymore so aren’t as easy to find.

Enjoy!

We’ve just released some shiny new docs for the Insights so you’ll know exactly what they measure and how to pass them. Check them out:

I mentioned before that we’re switching Lighthouse Performance audits to the new and improved Insights. The same Insights that you can see in DevTools Performance panel traces.

That’s happening in Lighthouse 13 due to be released very soon. Maybe even this week!
