lighthouse: Generate a JSON report and save it to a specific file.
$ lighthouse --output ${json} --output-path ${filename-json} ${https:--example-com}
try on your machine

This command is using the Lighthouse tool, which is a popular open-source tool developed by Google for auditing web page performance and generating detailed reports.

Here's an explanation of the command parameters:

  • lighthouse: This is the main command for running the Lighthouse tool.
  • --output: This parameter is used to specify the format of the generated report. In this case, it is set to ${json}, which means the report will be in JSON format.
  • --output-path: This parameter is used to specify the path and filename for the generated report. In this case, it is set to ${filename-json}, which means the filename for the JSON report will be determined by the value in ${filename-json}.
  • ${https:--example-com}: This is the URL of the web page that you want to generate a report for. It is set to https://example.com in this case. You can replace this URL with the desired website you want to analyze.

To use this command, you need to have Lighthouse installed on your machine and have it available in your system's PATH variable. You also need to replace ${json}, ${filename-json}, and ${https:--example-com} with their respective values or variables in your specific context.
