PSI: "Browser errors were logged to console" due to Inspector-blocked resource

[Krinkle]

URL	Description
/stats/matomo?idsite=…	Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT.Inspector

What is the current behavior?

The "Best Practices" score is reduced to 92.

What is the expected behavior?

For resources blocked by PSI itself to not affect the score.

Environment Information

• Affected Channels: https://web.dev/measure/

having the same issue with google analytics

`/g/collect?v=…(www.google-analytics.com)	Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT.Inspector`

[guzzdev]

Any fix?

[patrickhulce]

@Krinkle @ndrozd @Guzzox any URL for us to be able to repro?

[guzzdev]

@patrickhulce My page doesn't have any Javascript in it check it out https://guzzox.xyz/

[patrickhulce]

Thanks @Guzzox! In your case it's not inspector blocked but net::ERR_ACCESS_DENIED on your CSS. That's strange the error appears to be logged even though the CSS loaded successfully.

@exterkamp does this help provide any clues at all?

Hi there,
I'm having the same issue with Facebook's Business pixel.
The request is apparently a POST which works but ends up in a 307 Internal redirect when running in a normal environment.

URL	Description
https://www.facebook.com/tr/	Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT.Inspector

Example site tested: http://www.france24.com/en/

I'm having the same issue with the Matomo plugin for WordPress.

Site: https://enso-web.design/
Report: https://lighthouse-dot-webdotdevsite.appspot.com//lh/html?url=https%3A%2F%2Fenso-web.design%2F
Issue:

URL	Description
https://enso-web.design/wp-content/plugins/matomo/app/matomo.php	Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT.Inspector

What's the best practice to solve this issue?

Edit
To me, there seem to be 3 possible solutions:

• Require analytic tool developers to build in a solid error handling
• Disable the adblocker (or whatever blocks these analytics tools) in the "online Lighthouse"
• Whitelist analytics tools, so they don't get blocked in the audit and thus negatively affect the rating.

I would expect similar results as in Lighthouse, used in Chrome locally. Despite using an adblocker, I didn't had issues as listed here. If the local Lighthouse in Chrome doesn't block resources, why should the online one from web.dev/measure/?

Same here whit analitycs in web.dev, not locally or in WPT

having the same issue with google analytics

/g/collect?v=…([www.google-analytics.com](http://www.google-analytics.com)) Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT.Inspector

I came here hoping to find a solution to this. It seems to be when using Google's new analytics maybe?

What add-blocker can be turned off in PSI or web.dev ? El lun., 23 nov. 2020 16:32, Osherz5 <notifications@github.com> escribió:

Hi,

Is there any update on this issue?

I've started seeing this error in some of my websites when using the new version of Google Analytics.

URL	Description
/g/collect?v=…(www.google-analytics.com)	Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT.Inspector

Example site: https://allthemeasurements.com/
Lighthouse report with the issue: https://lighthouse-dot-webdotdevsite.appspot.com//lh/html?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.allthemeasurements.com%2F

+1 for using the new Google Analytics:
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT.Inspector

Any progress on this? Still getting this error with Google Analytics 4 using https://web.dev/measure

[connorjclark]

Expect a fix within a week, when we next upgrade the Lighthouse version of PSI/web.dev

[Frackher]

Hello, is there any update on this ?
Evry website using new GA tags are getting "Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT.Inspector" and so a 93/100.
Thanks.

[connorjclark]

This is fixed in PSI/web.dev. Are you getting a Lighthouse report from there or somewhere else? Please provide a URL for the page you are testing.

[Frackher]

@connorjclark Yes sorry, I'm using LH with pagespeed insight api. The 93% is still present on the API, maybe I've to report elsewhere ?

[Lofesa]

The issue still present in webdev.

@connorjclark
I have still this bug while calling API PageSpeed Insights (in JS).
I'm testing this website : https://www.labanqui.se/
Does I need to specify in another thread or repo ?

I've attached the details, the error comes from the GA tag

{ "id":"errors-in-console", "title":"Browser errors were logged to the console", "description":"Errors logged to the console indicate unresolved problems. They can come from network request failures and other browser concerns. [Learn more](https://web.dev/errors-in-console/)", "score":0, "scoreDisplayMode":"binary", "details":{ "headings":[ { "itemType":"source-location", "text":"Source", "key":"sourceLocation" }, { "itemType":"code", "text":"Description", "key":"description" } ], "type":"table", "items":[ { "source":"network", "description":"Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT.Inspector", "sourceLocation":{ "line":0, "column":0, "url":"https://analytics.google.com/g/collect?v=2&tid=G-B4XJCJ05QY>m=2oe3a0&_p=1122375522&sr=360x640&_gaz=1&ul=en-us&cid=1939546431.1616074942&_s=1&dl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.labanqui.se%2F&dt=Labanqui.se%20-%20Agence%20Web%20%C3%89co-Responsable&sid=1616074942&sct=1&seg=0&en=page_view&_fv=1&_nsi=1&_ss=1", "urlProvider":"network", "type":"source-location" }, "url":"https://analytics.google.com/g/collect?v=2&tid=G-B4XJCJ05QY>m=2oe3a0&_p=1122375522&sr=360x640&_gaz=1&ul=en-us&cid=1939546431.1616074942&_s=1&dl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.labanqui.se%2F&dt=Labanqui.se%20-%20Agence%20Web%20%C3%89co-Responsable&sid=1616074942&sct=1&seg=0&en=page_view&_fv=1&_nsi=1&_ss=1" }, { "source":"network", "sourceLocation":{ "url":"https://stats.g.doubleclick.net/g/collect?v=2&tid=G-B4XJCJ05QY&cid=1939546431.1616074942>m=2oe3a0&aip=1", "line":0, "type":"source-location", "urlProvider":"network", "column":0 }, "url":"https://stats.g.doubleclick.net/g/collect?v=2&tid=G-B4XJCJ05QY&cid=1939546431.1616074942>m=2oe3a0&aip=1", "description":"Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT.Inspector" } ] } }

[connorjclark]

It'll be fixed in the next release we do of PSI. I'd expect within 1-2 weeks.

[AdityaSaroj]

Was this ever fixed? I have the same issue with tawk.to

[connorjclark]

@AdityaSaroj please open a new issue with info from the bug template filled out.
