Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Lighthouse Soft Navigation Plugin

This is a plugin for Lighthouse that measures metrics such as FCP and LCP in a soft navigation.

image

Definition

A soft navigation is a same-document navigation triggered by user interaction that mutates the DOM and updates the page URL (e.g. using the history API). You can read more about the definition of a soft navigation over in WICG/softnavigations.

Requirements

Warning These features are necessary for this plugin to work but they are experimental and therefore subject to change without warning. I will try to keep the plugin and requirements up to date as things change.

  • Use the latest Chrome Canary.
  • Launch Chrome with --enable-experimental-web-platform-features to enable soft navigation measurement.

Installation

Install with npm or yarn. Make sure Lighthouse and Puppeteer are installed as well.

npm install lighthouse puppeteer lighthouse-plugin-soft-navigation
yarn add lighthouse puppeteer lighthouse-plugin-soft-navigation

Usage

Include this plugin in your Lighthouse config so Lighthouse timespan mode can audit interactions that trigger a soft navigation.

import fs from 'fs';
import puppeteer from 'puppeteer';
import {startFlow} from 'lighthouse';

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
  headless: false,
  args: ['--enable-experimental-web-platform-features'],
  // Make sure you are using the latest Chrome Canary.
  executablePath: '/path/to/chrome'
});
const page = await browser.newPage();

const config = {
  extends: 'lighthouse:default',
  plugins: ['lighthouse-plugin-soft-navigation'],
}

const flow = await startFlow(page, {config});

// This will trigger a hard navigation.
// This step will be like any normal navigation in the report.
await flow.navigate('https://example.com');

// Clicking `a.link` will trigger a soft navigation.
// This step will include soft navigation metrics from the plugin in the report.
await flow.startTimespan();
await page.click('a.link');
await flow.endTimespan();

const report = await flow.generateReport();
fs.saveFileSync('report.html', report);
