runWarning in the lighthouse report with "The page loaded too slowly to finish within the time limit. Results may be incomplete" #14069

sashikamw · 2022-05-31T20:20:25Z

Summary
I'm using lighthouse ci to get performance metrics of couple of web paged behind authentication. When I run the lighthouse report for some pages I'm getting the below warning.

  "runWarnings": [
    "The page loaded too slowly to finish within the time limit. Results may be incomplete."
  ],

what is the impact of this warning to the performance audit results? how can configure to avoid this?

Setup details
lighouse ci version - lhci/cli@0.8.x
authentication - using puppteer script
configuration setting -

    ci: {
      collect: {
        "numberOfRuns": 3,
        "headful": false,
        "puppeteerScript": "puppteerlogin.js",
        "puppeteerLaunchOptions": {args:["--window-size=1920,1080", "--no-sandbox", '--disable-setuid-sandbox','--ignore-certificate-errors'], headless: true},
        "url": [`${BASE_URL_TO_TEST}/forgot-password`,`${BASE_URL_TO_TEST}/recent_activity`,`${BASE_URL_TO_TEST}/catalog`],
         "settings": {
            "emulatedFormFactor": "desktop",
            "throttling": {
              "rttMs": 40,
              "throughputKbps": 10240,
              "cpuSlowdownMultiplier": 1
            },
            "disableStorageReset": true,
        }
      },

In settings try providing maxWaitForLoad. default is 45000 (ms)

sashikamw · 2022-06-01T13:19:59Z

Hi @connorjclark thank you for your answer, I setup the option 'maxWaitForLoad' with multiple values and check the behaviour.
I was able to generate the report without the warning just once when the maxWaitForLoad : 300000 is set. But after that I set the maxWaitForLoad up to 600000 multiple times, but still its giving the same warning.

I would like to understand a little bit more about this behaviour as I want to add this as part of the build pipeline. Why does it take so long for the page load? is this some issue with lighthouse or is there anything else I can do to make this better?

sashikamw · 2022-06-01T15:45:34Z

I can see the page is properly loading within few seconds. I'm unsure what makes the lighthouse report to trigger that warning

connorjclark · 2022-06-01T17:00:33Z

Can you provide a URL, or the artifacts written to latest-run/ when run with the flags -G?

sashikamw · 2022-06-01T18:59:28Z

@connorjclark is it possible to provide the -G argument with lighthouse ci? I'm using lhci autorun to execute the audit

connorjclark · 2022-06-01T19:31:17Z

Can you try replicating with just Lighthouse CLI? This will be easier to debug.

sashikamw · 2022-06-01T21:54:05Z

@connorjclark I tried running the command lhci autorun -G but it doesn't create a folder named latest-run/. I only have the .lighthouseci directory that contains the output report in html and json format with assertion-results.json. Can you let me know what exact artifact you are referring to ?

connorjclark · 2022-06-02T00:14:43Z

Please go through the documentation for the lighthouse tool (not Lighthouse CI) and create a repro. Preferably with a URL we can look at, else just the artifacts (lighthouse https://www.example.com -G will create artifacts in ./latest-run/ folder)

sashikamw · 2022-06-02T18:54:40Z

@connorjclark please find the requested artifacts (FYI - I changed the application url)
latest-run.zip

@connorjclark any update on this?

connorjclark · 2022-06-08T19:11:39Z

I can't determine what version of LH you used there, but it seems older than 8.5 because it is missing the GatherContext artifact.

update, and do lighthouse --version to confirm using 9.6.1
re-do artifacts upload (and provide the exact CLI you used to run)

sashikamw · 2022-06-10T18:41:17Z

@connorjclark
I'm using lighthouse version - 9.6.1 and lhci version - 0.8.2

I have attached the following

json output from the lhci (lhr-1654884421_lhci_report.json.zip)

Won't be able to determine the cause without access to the URL, since the warnings comes from the gathering stage. It seems the report has enough data to be useful though. The warning is just telling you that Lighthouse notices the page is still doing work but we decided to cut it off so we could generate a report and not wait forever. There's a chance we're missing out on further insights. But you can safely ignore it.

Are there any examples where this same warning comes up (and only this warning) and it won't be safe to ignore it?

For me it was showing when I have the Ad blocker enabled. It doesn't show up if I disable it.
