Description

The Lighthouse extension connects the MainWP panel to the Google PageSpeed Insights API, running performance audits on all child sites from a single control screen. Built for administrators of multiple WordPress sites, it adds automatic audit scheduling, separate reports for desktop and mobile, alerts when the score drops below a configurable threshold, and WP-CLI support via command wp mainwp-lighthouse audit.

Key Features

  • Audit via PageSpeed Insights
    Runs Lighthouse scans on child sites using the official Google API.
  • Automatic scheduling
    Performs audits at frequencies set by the administrator without manual intervention.
  • Bulk operation
    Audits multiple sites at once or selects individual instances as part of your routine.
  • Desktop and mobile reports
    Generates results separately by device strategy, with a configurable language.
  • Alerts based on score threshold
    Notifies the manager whenever the rating falls below the defined per-site threshold.

Benefits of the Lighthouse Extension

  • Consolidated network visibility
    Centralizes the performance status of the entire fleet within the MainWP dashboard.
  • Early detection of regressions
    Identifies score drops before the client notices the impact on the site.
  • Automation of routine technical checks
    Replaces manual site-by-site verification with scheduled recurring runs.
  • Integration with pipelines via CLI
    Lets you attach audits to WordPress deploy scripts and DevOps workflows.

Who Is It For?

  • Agencies and professionals managing multiple WordPress sites from MainWP.
  • Technical SEO specialists who need to track Core Web Vitals and Lighthouse metrics in a centralized way.
  • Maintenance and DevOps teams that automate monitoring and audits via WP-CLI or REST API.

Targeted at agencies and maintenance teams that need to track technical performance across dozens of WordPress sites simultaneously, this integration turns MainWP into a central audit panel, with detailed reports generated from Google’s official metrics. The practical advantage is eliminating the manual work of auditing each individual site in PageSpeed Insights and centralizing everything inside the dashboard your team already uses daily.
