July 2020 release notes

Here's a roundup of some of the changes we've made recently.

You can now run tests up to 7 times and then save the median result. This removes outliers and results and avoids unnecessary alerts.

Lighthouse 6.1

Lighthouse 6.1 includes bug fixes, more data on long JS tasks, and a new SEO audit that makes sure search engines can crawl your links.

DebugBear now also uses Chrome 84 to test your pages.

Page loaded conditions

Does Lighthouse sometimes finish the test before your page has fully loaded? You can now set up a JavaScript expression that needs to be fulfilled before the test finishes.
