Debug what takes LHCI so long (verbose logging)

[KoderFPV]

Hi, We are started using LHCI in our project. We are targeting our beta servers for tests. They are pretty fast and responsive. However, LHCI needs few minutes to run a single test for one page url. Approximately 1min - 2min We are running it inside of docker following official guidelines.

This step takes aprox. 2 min:

Running Lighthouse 1 time(s) on https://beta-sk.softwear.co/
Run #1....

And now I have a question. Is any way to speed it up or put in some verbose mode to track what actualy test doing? I tried few attempts to add a verbose flag somewhere, however, still nothing in the console.

Thanks for any help!

Thanks for filing @Tarvald!

I would first start with running Lighthouse directly without LHCI involved to see how long it takes (much easier to get substep timing information from Lighthouse directly)

npx lighthouse https://beta-sk.softwear.co/

If that is much faster than LHCI, we can take a look at what's going on here with more verbose logging than we offer currently.
