Lighthouse is one of the most trusted frontend performance tools. And that’s exactly why teams misuse it. A high Lighthouse score doesn’t always mean a fast experience. And a bad score doesn’t always mean users are unhappy. In this video, I explain why Lighthouse can be misleading — not because it’s broken, but because teams ask it the wrong question. We’ll break down: • What Lighthouse actually measures • Why lab performance ≠ real user experience • How teams accidentally optimize for scores, not users • When Lighthouse is useful — and when it isn’t • What you should measure instead to understand real performance This applies to React, Angular, AEM, SPAs, and any large frontend. This channel focuses on frontend systems — the invisible decisions that quietly shape performance, reliability, and scale. Welcome to DevArchitect Prime.
