Lighthouse is a synthetic testing tool. It can be incredibly useful when you connect it to your CI build process and track scores over time – revealing how code changes affect (some) front-end performance metrics.[0] Of course, some scores are non-deterministic so you'll need to run it multiple times.[1] And you should be tracking real user data as well to validate it.

Using Lighthouse in your browser to benchmark a site is akin to wasting your time.
