Google offers some excellent tools for administratorwebsites (Webmaster). From the well-known Google Analytics (and newer GA4) for monitored traffic, conversions, users, up to Google Search Console (formerly Google Webmasters).
Google Insights PageSpeed is a recommended service for checking the performance of web pages. We find out pretty quickly what issues need attention, what scripts, images and codes we need to optimize to increase the loading speed of the web page and be readable, the response time of the host server and many other useful information.
In addition, a optimization score both mobile as well as desktop.
I use PageSpeed Insights quite often, and these days I had a problem every time I tried to check the performance of a website. “Lighthouse returned error: Something went wrong. "
Initially I thought it was a problem with the PageSpeed Insights service, but any other website I checked, everything was ok.
I understand that the error occurred because something did not go well, but what?
After doing a few good minutes of "research" in the Help Center without reaching a result, I started to take turns active plugins de WordPess of the website in question and to disable them. After each deactivated plugin, we "insert a file" in PageSpeed, maybe, maybe.
In my script, the problem was a plugin that brought Instagram posts into a widget via a feed. After disabling that plugin, I resumed the test in PageSpeed Insights and everything went smoothly.
The question remains, would this error have led to SEO issues or is it limited to the inability to test the URL?
