# psi [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/GoogleChromeLabs/psi.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/GoogleChromeLabs/psi) [![NPM psi package](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/psi.svg)](https://npmjs.org/package/psi)

> PageSpeed Insights with reporting

![](screenshot.png)

Run mobile and desktop performance tests for your deployed site using [Google PageSpeed Insights v5](https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/v5/about) with tidy reporting for your build process.

## Install

```
$ npm install psi
```

## Usage

```js
const psi = require('psi');

(async () => {
// Get the PageSpeed Insights report
const { data } = await psi('https://theverge.com');
console.log('Speed score:', data.lighthouseResult.categories.performance.score);

// Output a formatted report to the terminal
await psi.output('https://theverge.com');
console.log('Done');

// Supply options to PSI and get back speed
const data2 = await psi('https://theverge.com', {
nokey: 'true',
strategy: 'desktop'
});
console.log('Speed score:', data2.data.lighthouseResult.categories.performance.score);
})();
```

As of PSI 2.x, we expose both the PageSpeed Insights speed and usability scores. The latter is based on [usability rules](https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/rules) that score a page based on factors like the presence of a sensible mobile [viewport](https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/ConfigureViewport).

## API

### psi(url, [options])

Returns a promise for the response data from Google PageSpeed Insights.

#### url

Type: `string`

URL of the page for which the PageSpeed Insights API should generate results.

#### options

Type: `Object`

##### key

Type: `string`

Default: Free tier

When using this module for a production-level build process, registering for an API key from the [Google Developer Console](https://developers.google.com/speed/docs/insights/v1/getting_started#auth) is recommended.

##### strategy

Type: `string`

Default: `mobile`

Values: `mobile` `desktop`

Strategy to use when analyzing the page.

##### locale

Type: `string`

Default: `en_US`

Locale results should be generated in.

##### threshold

Type: `number`

Default: `70`

Threshold score to pass the PageSpeed test. Useful for setting a performance budget.

##### links

Type: `boolean`

Default: `false`

If passed adds links with more info about opportunities. Useful for checking documentation about opportunities.

### psi.output(url, [options])

Output the formatted report to the terminal.

Returns a promise for the response data from Google PageSpeed Insights.

`url` and `options` are the same as `psi()`.

## CLI

```
$ npm install --global psi
```

```
$ psi --help

Usage
$ psi

Options
--key Google API Key. By default the free tier is used
--strategy Strategy to use when analyzing the page: mobile|desktop
--format Output format: cli|json|tap
--locale Locale results should be generated in
--threshold Threshold score to pass the PageSpeed test

Example
$ psi https://addyosmani.com --strategy=mobile
```

## Common Use cases

Getting PSI into your build process.

A sample [Gulp](https://github.com/addyosmani/psi-gulp-sample) project using PSI is available.

If you use Grunt, [`grunt-pagespeed`](https://github.com/jrcryer/grunt-pagespeed) is a task by James Cryer that uses PSI under the hood.

For testing local projects, we recommend using [`psi-ngrok`](https://github.com/denar90/psi-ngrok) or [`ngrok`](http://www.jamescryer.com/2014/06/12/grunt-pagespeed-and-ngrok-locally-testing/).

Getting filmstrips

**Filmstrips** are returned by the v5 API as data uri's but the psi tool does not expose them on the cli. If you want to get **filmstrips** (or any audit details) you can require `psi` and get them from the `audits` object:

```javascript
const psi = require('psi');

(async () => {
// Get the PageSpeed Insights report
const {data} = await psi('https://theverge.com');
console.log(data.lighthouseResult.audits['screenshot-thumbnails'].details.items);
})();
```
