Learn how Experience Audit validates your deployment process and helps ensure that changes deployed meet baseline standards for performance, accessibility, best practices, and SEO through a clear, informative dashboard interface.

Overview overview

Experience Audit is a feature available in Cloud Manager Sites Production pipelines that validates the deployment process and helps ensure that changes deployed:

Experience Audit in Cloud Manager ensures that the user’s experience on the site are of the highest standards.

The audit results are informational and allow the deployment manager to see the scores and the change between the current and previous scores. This insight is valuable to determine if there is a regression that was introduced with the current deployment.

Experience Audit is powered by Google Lighthouse, an open source tool from Google and is enabled in all Cloud Manager production pipelines.
