These videos are getting better and better! I like the variety of the content! Huge fan here! Regarding this one in particular, I extremely appreciate that you guys demystify the power under Lighthouse, I been trying to get higher scores on my website but it was somehow difficult to understand the reasoning or why the scoring was different depending on the run, with no changes at all!. So, thank you for demystifying this a bit! It helps a lot to understand that perceived performance and real user insights could also be important.
Now that SEO and organic rankings are basically being destroyed by Google's AI search features, not sure how relevant Lighthouse scores are going to be going forward. I bet accessibility will still be important, though.
I agree that the website should feel fast. I build large drupal websites (with images) which also score close to 100% Lighthouse is overrated, but it's no magic to get great scores
Sorry to disagree but Vercel even on Chrome + latest MacBook doesn't feel too smooth to me. Also if people are just not willing to ship properly crafted websites but rather just be soy late NextJS devs, doesn't mean that everybody needs to do the same. Settling for "good enough" is a bad mindset. I'm not saying that 100% pagespeed is the way to go mandatory but shipping a ton of JS for something basic or simple might be overkill.

Love episodes about performance!

Lighthouse score is only a simple indication. It is always about how the user feels.
