Why am I getting:
Error: 403 from Lighthouse API: Forbidden
whenever I try to run the audit on any of my sites hosted on Digital Ocean? They all load normally in my browser...
Anyone else having the same issue?

#123> Accessible to all
The website itself doesn't seem to take that too seriously.
For example, it loses scroll position when navigating:
* go there from HN * scroll down a bit * press the Back button in the browser to go back to HN * press the Forward button in the browser to go to the site again * you are now scrolled the very top again, instead of where you scrolled to
Tested in curren Chrome and Firefox on Linux.
Also note how HN doesn't have this problem, it will remember your scroll position so you can continue reading where you left off.
Browsers are smart, they have accessibility built-in. Too clever JavaScriptery destroys it.

Yep, all of my DO hosted sites share the same fate.

#125It only accepts https URLs. Lighthouse in the DevTools can do both, http and https.
Yep that's our mistake (one of the web.dev devs). We auto added https to every URL. Oops! Gonna fix that as soon as we are out of our code freeze
Confused about the purpose of a "code freeze", I guess you're focused on monitoring for abuse, so don't want to go back to working on features/functionality yet?

#126Earlier quoted context omitted.
Google Pagespeed once recommended that I enable gzip compression on an embedded Google map. https://johnrockefeller.net/google-pagespeed-_/
Most performance profilers will penalize you for embedding Google Analytics and Google Fonts because they have poor caching settings. What's so important about those resources that they can't be cached for longer periods?
I’ve always loved how Google’s own performance profiler marks you down for Analytics/Doubleclick caching.

#127I just ran their audit to https://mail.google.com , you guys (googlers) need to speed up your websites first, Gmail is terrible slow lately, just saying...
Recent Ad Words user here. It is quite possibly the worst application I've used in years. I get that they offer a LOT of products and that the nature of the business is complicated. But, man, was everything about that process awful. And the UI is unbearably slow.
I agree, it’s painful, but the new AdWords UI is still far ahead of the old one.

I'm on AWS. Same issue.

I think it is in poor taste for Google to publish https://web.dev/ during the new desktop Gmail. >Google's web platform team has spent over a decade learning about user needs.

I dig google and its products but oh wow is this bug frustrating. Hope it’s fixed soon.
