Test single page application [navigation and load time] with lighthouse

[sakshij]

Is there a way in which I can test my single page application and load time of different views of my single page app without having to run audit multiple times?
Say I load the home page, and then using lighthouse, trigger a click on one of the menu items, and load another page and audit things on each click.

Hey @sakshij thanks for filing!

There's not really a way to run lighthouse over an entire flow. At the moment, it's very focused on the loading use case, so you'll have to run LH for each different view/URL. If you're venturing off into custom audit territory though there's nothing stopping you from extending an afterPass of a gatherer to do interaction with the page and measure whatever you'd like.

If you haven't already checked out our recipes they may help you there.

@patrickhulce Is this topic still open? I would like to test SPA web page with Lighthouse, but I cannot find any solution.

This is being actively worked on and should be possible in Lighthouse 9, see #11313 for details.
