Lighthouse Scores Vary

If you are noticing that the Lighthouse scores from Niteco Performance Insights tests differ from the scores you receive in other platforms such as Page Speed Insights (PSI), this could be for a number of reasons:

Location

Your tests are run from the location you have specified whereas PSI will run your tests from the closest physical location which could mean scores are higher than from a location further away.

Lighthouse Versions

It could be that the version of Lighthouse being used is not the same as used by Niteco Performance Insights. We aim to use the latest version of Ligthhouse but at times this may not match the same version as Lighthouse run themselves resulting in a different way that scores are calculated.
