From layout and content creation to performance testing and analytics, these tools cover many essential stages of the website-building process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Google does not provide a single all-in-one website builder, its ecosystem includes powerful services that support development, usability, and growth. When used together, they can significantly streamline how websites are created, improved, and maintained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, let&#8217;s take a look at some of the best tools for website building that Google has in store.

Whether you&#8217;re after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/tools-and-plugins-for-building-an-affiliate-marketing-website-in-2025\/\">building an affiliate marketing website<\/a>, a brand website, or anything in between, <a href=\"https:\/\/codelabs.developers.google.com\/\">Codelabs<\/a> should be on your list. It&#8217;s the perfect tool to get hands-on experience. To test it, we asked a non-developer to try it out and create a simple web application. We wanted to see how they would do with little to no additional help. Codelabs gave them a step-by-step interactive lesson. While the goal was to build a straightforward app, our &#8220;lab mouse&#8221; now knows the first thing about building websites, applications, and progressive web apps (PWAs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beginners often feel extremely overwhelmed by all the online documentation and elaborate tutorials. For some reason, online teachers seem eager to use as much lingo as possible. It&#8217;s like they get paid by the number of professional terms they use in their lessons. With Codelabs, it&#8217;s different. Instead of tons of theory, you get right down to practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, Codelabs is focused on the basics. You learn about HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and, naturally, their own framework, Flutter. Moreover, you will learn how to integrate Google Cloud. Basically, Codelabs will teach you how to build a fully functioning website from A to Z.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is a vast collection of topics, from basic website creation to more complex topics regarding API integration, machine learning, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-like-about-codelabs\">What We Like About Codelabs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Beginner-friendly learning with step-by-step interactive tutorials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Covers a wide range of topics, from basic web development to advanced integrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Hands-on coding exercises ensure you build real, functional websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Completely free, making it a great starting point for new developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Perfect for experimenting with Google&#8217;s web development tools like Flutter, Workbox, and Lighthouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-don-t-like-about-codelabs\">What We Don&#8217;t Like About Codelabs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u274c Not a website builder. It&#8217;s a learning tool, so you&#8217;ll still need separate development tools to apply what you learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u274c No personalized feedback. You learn by doing, but there&#8217;s no real instructor to guide you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u274c Limited advanced topics.<strong> <\/strong>While great for beginners, it may not be enough for experienced developers looking for in-depth training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-flutter\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Flutter\"><\/span>Flutter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1889\" height=\"845\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Flutter.png\" alt=\"Flutter starting page\" class=\"wp-image-5058\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Flutter.png 1889w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Flutter-300x134.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Flutter-1110x497.png 1110w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Flutter-768x344.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Flutter-1536x687.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Flutter-24x11.png 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Flutter-36x16.png 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Flutter-48x21.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1889px) 100vw, 1889px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Now a powerful tool for website building, Google started <a href=\"https:\/\/flutter.dev\/\">Flutter<\/a> as nothing more than a mobile development platform. We tested it extensively, and indeed, the platform makes it astonishingly easy to create anything &#8211; from stunning websites to powerful mobile or desktop applications. The beauty of it all is that you need only a single codebase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flutter is an open-source UI framework. It uses the Dart programming language, which is enhanced by pre-built UI components. This allows users to create truly appealing websites without wasting time learning several languages. Naturally, this makes it a go-to framework for beginners who want to make professional-looking apps and websites from the very start of their careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We tested it extensively, and we can confidently say Flutter ensures that websites feel just as smooth as a mobile app. So, yes, the user experience will be much better than anything you can build on any of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/the-best-free-website-building-sites-in-2025-a-complete-comparison\/\">best free website-building sites.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moreover, we fell in love with the hot reload option. It allows users to see changes in real-time. This speeds up the entire development-to-launch process. Best of all, you can use the platform on any device. We tried it on desktops, tablets, and phones, and although developing on our phones is not among our favorites, Flutter makes it just as effortless as if on a computer surrounded by three monitors. Its responsive design will ensure a consistent experience across all devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-like-about-flutter\">What We Like About Flutter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Saves time by allowing developers to write once and deploy anywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Easy to use with pre-designed UI components that speed up website creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Ideal for creating modern, app-like websites with seamless animations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Strong community support and backed by Google, ensuring long-term development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Great for PWAs and dynamic, data-heavy web applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-don-t-like-about-flutter\">What We Don\u2019t Like About Flutter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u274c Not ideal for static, simple websites (better suited for dynamic web applications).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u274c Larger file sizes compared to traditional HTML\/CSS websites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u274c Limited SEO capabilities since Flutter apps don&#8217;t use standard HTML structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lit\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lit\"><\/span>Lit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1905\" height=\"924\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lit.png\" alt=\"Lit example\" class=\"wp-image-5060\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lit.png 1905w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lit-300x146.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lit-1110x538.png 1110w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lit-768x373.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lit-1536x745.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lit-24x12.png 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lit-36x17.png 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lit-48x23.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1905px) 100vw, 1905px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Next on our list is <a href=\"https:\/\/lit.dev\/\">Lit<\/a>. It&#8217;s one of the best tools for website building Google has to offer. Lit is essentially Polymer 2.0. It&#8217;s Google&#8217;s JavaScript framework, designed specifically for creating reusable high-performance web components. So, when you need to reuse an element, for example, a button, across multiple pages, Lit eliminates the need to rewrite the code again and again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, we&#8217;ve tried many front-end frameworks, and one thing&#8217;s for sure &#8211; Lit is nowhere near as full-fledged as React or Angular. Lit is more for those looking for a modular website development tool. You can only build custom interactive UI elements that can be reused across your entire website. The best part, this will enhance your website speed in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You know how obsessed we are with website speed. So, for us, Lit&#8217;s lightweight structure was irresistible. Websites built with Lit load faster and use fewer resources than traditional component-based frameworks. Additionally, Lit ensures that only the necessary parts of a webpage are updated, leading to better performance and responsiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-like-about-lit\">What We Like About Lit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Ultra-lightweight, ensuring fast website load times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 More efficient rendering, updating only necessary elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Simpler syntax, making it easier for beginners to learn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Works with other frameworks, allowing seamless integration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Google-backed technology, ensuring long-term support and improvements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-don-t-like-about-lit\">What We Don&#8217;t Like About Lit<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u274c Still relatively new, meaning fewer learning resources compared to React or Vue.js.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u274c Not a full framework, so it only handles components, not complete app structures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u274c Limited adoption, as many developers are still transitioning from Polymer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-workbox\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Workbox\"><\/span>Workbox<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1881\" height=\"484\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Workbox.png\" alt=\"WorkBox logo and landing page hero\" class=\"wp-image-5062\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Workbox.png 1881w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Workbox-300x77.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Workbox-1110x286.png 1110w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Workbox-768x198.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Workbox-1536x395.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Workbox-24x6.png 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Workbox-36x9.png 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Workbox-48x12.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1881px) 100vw, 1881px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If you have ever visited a site or application that loaded instantly, even with a weak internet connection, chances are they used <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.chrome.com\/docs\/workbox\">Workbox<\/a> to optimize caching and background syncing. But Workbox is much more. It&#8217;s a Google-developed JavaScript library that allows users to make their websites faster and more reliable, and it even loads when the audience is offline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We always look for speed, and we&#8217;re not alone. Workbox makes sure developers can build offline features, enhance caching, and improve SEO from a single tool. It&#8217;s especially useful for high-traffic websites. For example, if you have a niche product, you might want to cache it. This way, users can show others your product, even if the connection is not great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For instance, if you&#8217;re selling high-quality mountaineering products, your listings can end up in a conversation high up on the mountain tops. So, with Workbox, loyal customers can secure you a sale even there and then.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, your space is not limitless, so you need to consider what to cache and for how long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Workbox is something you should consider even if you&#8217;re using the best<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/comparison-of-the-leading-ecommerce-website-building-companies-in-2025\/\"> e-commerce website-building companies.<\/a> However, if you are after an independent website creation, this tool for website building, google offers for free, is a must.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-like-about-workbox\">What We Like About Workbox<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Enhances website speed, reducing load times for visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Enables offline functionality, allowing users to access content without an internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Optimizes caching strategies, ensuring websites don&#8217;t load unnecessary assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Boosts SEO performance by improving site speed and user experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Works well with Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), making them more responsive and reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-don-t-like-about-workbox\">What We Don&#8217;t Like About Workbox<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u274c Requires basic knowledge of service workers to implement effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u274c Not necessary for all websites, best suited for dynamic or content-heavy sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u274c Some learning curve involved, especially for non-developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-google-api-explorer\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Google_API_Explorer\"><\/span>Google API Explorer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1904\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/API-Explorer.png\" alt=\"Google API Explorer, one of the best tools for website building google has to offer\" class=\"wp-image-5056\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/API-Explorer.png 1904w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/API-Explorer-300x101.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/API-Explorer-1110x374.png 1110w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/API-Explorer-768x259.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/API-Explorer-1536x517.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/API-Explorer-24x8.png 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/API-Explorer-36x12.png 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/API-Explorer-48x16.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1904px) 100vw, 1904px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>While the rest might be optional when it comes to website building, <a href=\"https:\/\/developers.google.com\/apis-explorer\">Google API Explorer<\/a> is definitely a must. It allows users to integrate some of Google&#8217;s most valuable assets. For example, you can display Google Maps, have access to Google Drive, or fetch data from YouTube.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s one of the easiest API explorers we&#8217;ve ever used, and we can confidently say that even non-developers can test and integrate Google APIs into their websites. There are no complex codes and no steep learning curves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The beauty of it is the lack of manual API setup requests in the back-end system. Instead, Google API Explorer provides a straightforward way to test API calls directly from the browser. Thus, API testing is much easier; you get instant results without adding a single line of code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if you run a fitness blog and want to display all your workout videos. Now, you can add it manually by implementing embed codes every time you upload a new video. Naturally, this will take time and effort. On the other hand, you can use the YouTube Data API to dynamically fetch and display your latest workout videos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, the second option is much faster, easier, and clearer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-like-about-google-api-explorer\">What We Like About Google API Explorer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Easy to use \u2013 No coding required for testing APIs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Supports multiple Google services, including Google Maps, YouTube, Gmail, and Google Drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Instant feedback \u2013 See API responses in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Saves development time \u2013 Helps understand API functionality before implementing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Great for dynamic content \u2013 Fetches real-time data from Google services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-don-t-like-about-google-api-explorer\">What We Don&#8217;t Like About Google API Explorer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u274c Limited to testing \u2013 you still need to write actual code to use APIs on your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u274c Requires an API key for full implementation, which may involve authentication steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u274c Not all Google APIs are beginner-friendly, meaning some learning is required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-puppeteer\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Puppeteer\"><\/span>Puppeteer<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1900\" height=\"856\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Puppeteer.png\" alt=\"Puppeteer getting started page\" class=\"wp-image-5061\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Puppeteer.png 1900w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Puppeteer-300x135.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Puppeteer-1110x500.png 1110w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Puppeteer-768x346.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Puppeteer-1536x692.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Puppeteer-24x11.png 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Puppeteer-36x16.png 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Puppeteer-48x22.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1900px) 100vw, 1900px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Once you enter the testing phase of your website building, <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.chrome.com\/docs\/puppeteer\">Google Puppeteer<\/a> is the tool for you. Puppeteer allows you to conduct a test on a headless Google Chrome browser. This means that the platform will simulate users&#8217; natural actions like clicking on links, filling out forms, and others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, if you want to test your website on different devices, for example, you can spare some time to use it on all of them. Instead, just run your Puppeteer automated test and see if everything functions as it should.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike traditional manual testing, Puppeteer enables developers and businesses to automate repetitive tasks, making website development and maintenance much more efficient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-like-about-puppeteer\">What We Like About Puppeteer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Automates repetitive tasks, such as form filling, navigation, and UI testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Emulates different screen sizes, ensuring a website is mobile-friendly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Scrapes website data without needing an API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Creates full-page screenshots and PDFs for documentation and testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Can monitor website performance and detect loading issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-don-t-like-about-puppeteer\">What We Don&#8217;t Like About Puppeteer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u274c Requires basic JavaScript and Node.js knowledge to use effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u274c Limited to Chromium-based browsers (doesn&#8217;t support Safari or Firefox natively).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u274c Resource-intensive \u2013 Running Puppeteer for large-scale tasks can slow down your machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lighthouse\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lighthouse\"><\/span>Lighthouse<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1886\" height=\"705\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lighthouse.png\" alt=\"Website best practices test with Lighthouse\" class=\"wp-image-5059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lighthouse.png 1886w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lighthouse-300x112.png 300w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lighthouse-1110x415.png 1110w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lighthouse-768x287.png 768w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lighthouse-1536x574.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lighthouse-24x9.png 24w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lighthouse-36x13.png 36w, https:\/\/www.hostarmada.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Lighthouse-48x18.png 48w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1886px) 100vw, 1886px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/developer.chrome.com\/docs\/lighthouse\">Lighthouse<\/a> is essentially Google&#8217;s website auditing tool. It helps you improve your speed, accessibility, SEO, and overall performance. It provides a detailed audit of your web pages and offers actionable recommendations. This ensures your website meets modern web standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best part is that it&#8217;s all automated. This makes it easy for even non-tech-savvy website owners to take full advantage of the tool. Lighthouse will scan your website and advise you on improving your website speed, SEO score, and accessibility. This ensures your website will always be on top of trends. Moreover, Lighthouse will automatically alert you of any security vulnerabilities, outdated JavaScript libraries, and potential UX issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is invaluable for e-commerce websites, where following the trends ensures success. A decrease in load speed will negatively affect the abandoned carts and bounce rates. Naturally, this will result in significant revenue losses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, regularly using Lighthouse to check your overall performance will allow you to mitigate any significant sales losses due to technical issues. Now, most often, you&#8217;d find advice to use it once a quarter, but from our experience, we know that doing such an audit once a month will result in much easier and faster fixes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-we-like-about-lighthouse\">What We Like About Lighthouse<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2705 Completely free and built into Chrome.

Results change based on network conditions and server performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u274c Limited to front-end analysis.

Still, they can be a great asset in your arsenal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More importantly, even if you built your website elsewhere, tools like Lighthouse will allow you to follow your website&#8217;s performance and keep it up to date with modern trends.
