    From the README

    Lighthouse analyzes web apps and web pages, collecting modern performance metrics and insights on developer best practices.

    Lighthouse is integrated directly into the Chrome DevTools, under the "Lighthouse" panel.

    Run it: open Chrome DevTools, select the Lighthouse panel, and hit "Generate report".

    The Chrome extension was available prior to Lighthouse being available in Chrome Developer Tools, and offers similar functionality.

    Installation: install the extension from the Chrome Web Store.

    Run it: follow the extension quick-start guide.
