Desktop Mode & Device Configuration

Copy for LLMs

Test performance across different screen sizes and network conditions. Configure mobile, desktop, or custom viewport settings with optional network throttling for realistic performance testing.

Device Types

Desktop Scanning

import { defineUnlighthouseConfig } from 'unlighthouse/config'

export default defineUnlighthouseConfig({
  scanner: {
    device: 'desktop',
  },
})

Mobile Scanning (Default)

export default defineUnlighthouseConfig({
  scanner: {
    device: 'mobile',
  },
})

Custom Dimensions

Test specific viewport sizes for responsive breakpoints:

export default defineUnlighthouseConfig({
  lighthouseOptions: {
    screenEmulation: {
      width: 1800,
      height: 1000,
    },
  },
})

Network Throttling

Throttling simulates slower network and CPU conditions for more realistic performance testing:

export default defineUnlighthouseConfig({
  scanner: {
    throttle: true,
  },
})
Throttling is automatically enabled for production sites and disabled for localhost by default.
