Experience Audit Dashboard experience-audit-dashboard
The Cloud Manager Experience Audit dashboard includes a trended view of your page performance scores along with insights and recommendations to help you improve them. Experience Audit is included as a step in the Cloud Manager production pipeline.
The dashboard uses Google Lighthouse, an open-source, automated tool for improving the quality of your web apps. You can run it against any web page, public, or requiring authentication. It has audits for performance, accessibility, progressive web apps, SEO, and more.
Interested in test-driving the new dashboard? To get started, send an email to aem-lighthouse-pilot@adobe.com from your email associated with your Adobe ID.
Known Issues known-issues
There is a known bug that prevents config pipelines from being pushed to production.
If the Pause before deploying to Production option is required for a config pipeline, the following is the suggested workaround until the bug is resolved.
- Run the pipeline.
- Test the code in the staging environment.
- When deploying and approval becomes available, click Reject.
- Edit the pipeline so you can disable the Pause before deploying to Production option.
- Run the pipeline again so it can run again on staging, then on production.
