Lighthouse runs<br \/>\n  locally in your Chrome browser, enabling you to run the SEO audits on pages in a staging<br \/>\n  environment as well as on live pages, public pages and pages that require authentication.\n<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"bringing-seo-best-practices-to-you\" tabindex=\"-1\">Bringing SEO best practices to you<\/h2>\n<p>\n  The current list of SEO audits is not an exhaustive list, nor does it make any SEO guarantees for<br \/>\n  Google websearch or other search engines. The current list of audits was designed to validate and<br \/>\n  reflect the SEO basics that every site should get right, and provides detailed guidance to<br \/>\n  developers and SEO practitioners of all skill levels.
