- [Dealing with score variability](https://mintlify.wiki/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/advanced/variability.md): Understand why Lighthouse performance scores vary between runs and learn strategies to get stable, reliable results.
- [CLI reference](https://mintlify.wiki/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/api/cli-reference.md): Complete reference for all Lighthouse CLI flags, options, and usage examples.
- [Configuration reference](https://mintlify.wiki/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/api/configuration-reference.md): Full reference for the Lighthouse config object, settings, artifacts, audits, categories, and built-in presets.

- [Understanding results](https://mintlify.wiki/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/api/understanding-results.md): A guide to the Lighthouse Result (LHR) object structure, score interpretation, and report formats.
- [Device emulation](https://mintlify.wiki/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/configuration/emulation.md): Lighthouse emulates a mobile device by default. Learn how to configure screen emulation, user agent spoofing, and form factor for desktop or real-device testing.
- [Configuration overview](https://mintlify.wiki/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/configuration/overview.md): Customize Lighthouse by passing a config object to control which audits run, how they are scored, and what settings apply.
- [Scoring](https://mintlify.wiki/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/configuration/scoring.md): Understand how Lighthouse calculates scores for Performance, Accessibility, SEO, and Best Practices categories.
- [Throttling](https://mintlify.wiki/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/configuration/throttling.md): Lighthouse throttles network and CPU to simulate real-world mobile conditions. Learn how each throttling method works and how to configure or disable it.
- [Architecture](https://mintlify.wiki/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/extend/architecture.md): How Lighthouse works internally: from Chrome DevTools Protocol through gatherers, audits, and report generation.
- [Writing custom audits](https://mintlify.wiki/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/extend/custom-audits.md): Write a custom Lighthouse audit and wire it into a config that extends the default Lighthouse checks.
- [Building plugins](https://mintlify.wiki/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/extend/plugins.md): Create a shareable Lighthouse plugin that adds a custom category and audits to any Lighthouse run.
- [Introduction](https://mintlify.wiki/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/introduction.md): Lighthouse analyzes web pages and apps, collecting modern performance metrics and surfacing actionable insights on developer best practices.
- [CLI quickstart](https://mintlify.wiki/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/quickstart-cli.md): Install Lighthouse globally and run your first audit from the command line.
- [Node.js quickstart](https://mintlify.wiki/GoogleChrome/lighthouse/quickstart-node.md): Use Lighthouse programmatically as a Node module in your scripts and tooling.
