name: seo-unlighthouse description: Multi-page Lighthouse audit via the MIT-licensed Unlighthouse CLI. Free-tier alternative to running PageSpeed against every URL on a site, no API quota burn, runs locally. metadata: version: "2.4.2" compatibility: "Requires Node 18+ and the unlighthouse npm package. Run extensions/unlighthouse/install.sh to pre-warm."

seo-unlighthouse

Run Lighthouse against every URL on a site (up to a configurable cap) and aggregate the results. Useful when:

• PageSpeed Insights' free quota (25k QPD) isn't enough for a large site.
• You want offline / local CWV measurement (CI integration, restricted environments).
• You need a quick site-wide regression check after a deploy.

Prerequisites

• Run extensions/unlighthouse/install.sh (no API key needed).
• Node 18+ on $PATH.

Routing

Command	Effect
/seo unlighthouse <url>	Mobile audit, up to 200 routes, JSON+HTML report in a temp dir
/seo unlighthouse <url> --device desktop	Desktop form factor
/seo unlighthouse <url> --max-routes 50 --output-dir ./reports	Cap + persist

All flags forward through "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run unlighthouse_run.py, which handles url_safety pre-flight and subprocess timeout management.

Output handling

The wrapper reads ci-result.json from the Unlighthouse output dir, normalizes it (the default jsonSimple reporter writes a flat JSON array of per-route results; a tolerant fallback also accepts the jsonExpanded object shape), and returns:

• route_count: number of routes actually audited
• aggregate_scores: median score per Lighthouse category across all audited routes (performance, accessibility, best-practices, seo)
• routes: the per-route breakdown (also on disk at <output_dir>/ci-result.json)

Route cap and per-page timeout are set via a generated unlighthouse.config.mjs passed with --config-file (the only CLI-documented way to set scanner.maxRoutes; unlighthouse-ci has no --max-routes flag). Use --page-timeout <seconds> to change the per-page Lighthouse task timeout (default 60s); this is separate from the overall --timeout subprocess guard (default 600s).

Cross-skill delegation

• For single-URL field data (CrUX), use seo-google psi / seo-google crux.
• For LCP subpart decomposition on slow pages, use the "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/claude-seo" run lcp_subparts.py workflow (Phase C).
