Understanding Lighthouse: Speed Index

Feb 12, 2026 By Todd H. Gardner In Request Metrics
You run Lighthouse and it tells you your Speed Index is bad. But the page looks like it loads fine. You see stuff on screen early. So why is Lighthouse acting like your site is a sloth? Speed Index is a “how fast does this page visually fill in” metric. Not “when did the first pixel show up” (that’s FCP) and not “when did the main content show up” (That’s LCP).
