Daily performance audits of all your sites in Matomo for the following metrics based on Google Lighthouse:
- First Contentful Paint
- Speed Index
- Largest Contentful Paint
- Time To Interactive
- Total Blocking Time
- Cumulative Layout Shift
- Overall Score
Continuously monitor those Web Vital metrics over time, allowing detection of underlying problems before they have an adverse effect for users or simply track changes made to the web application, allowing you to establish a baseline for comparison too.
Note: Requires minimum NPM v10.x (part of Node.js 20.x LTS) to be installed on your server, otherwise plugin cannot be activated.

Please keep in mind that Performance Audit uses Lighthouse internally in order to perform performance audits in the background for every Matomo tracked URL within the last 1 month. If the Matomo installation has more than 10,000 tracked unique URLs within the last 1 month, it's suggested to either reduce the number of performed audit iterations in the website settings, group URLs in website settings or increase the server resources. For Matomo installations with over 100,000 tracked unique URLs within the last 1 month, this plugin architecture is rather unsuitable and therefor not recommended.

Please note that the performance audits will be performed with Chromium which renders Matomo-tracked web pages on your server without the sandbox mode of Chromium. You can find more information about this possible issue on the lighthouse-cli repository.
