Lab data: Lighthouse 13.4.1 desktop run, graded above · Reproduce this run on PageSpeed Insights ↗ · Mobile: 83 (B) —
Why is this different from the score in my browser?
The graded score is the desktop run. Lighthouse 13.4.1 runs at Google through the PageSpeed Insights API on a desktop profile with no CPU or network throttling — close to what Chrome DevTools on a laptop, GTmetrix's default test and the PageSpeed API (which defaults to desktop) all measure, so this is the number you should be able to reproduce: run it yourself on PageSpeed Insights.
Google ranks on mobile. That run happens too, on an emulated mid-range Android with a 4× CPU slowdown and a throttled connection, and the same page routinely scores 30–50 points lower there. Neither number is wrong — they are different tests. On this page the mobile run scored 83 (B) against 83 (B) here — to see every check graded on that run.
Lighthouse also varies a few points run to run on the same URL. Treat a trend across several scans as the signal, never a single digit.

This view grades the mobile run. Lighthouse 13.4.1 runs at Google through the PageSpeed Insights API on an emulated mid-range Android with a 4× CPU slowdown and a throttled connection. Chrome DevTools on your own machine, on the Desktop preset, applies almost none of that, and the same page routinely scores 30–50 points higher there. Neither number is wrong — they are different tests.
Mobile is what Google ranks on, so this is the number that affects your
search performance. On this page the desktop run scored 83 (B) against
83 (B) here —
to see every check graded on that run. To reproduce it, open the same run on PageSpeed Insights,
or pass strategy=mobile to the PageSpeed API — it defaults to desktop.
