Getting Started
xcelera is free to start. No credit card required. The free tier gives you 50 audit credits per month, which is enough to run daily audits on one or two pages for a full month.
Set up your first audit
Sign up, click Add Page, and enter the URL you care about most (your homepage is a good default). Set the schedule to daily.
That's the whole setup. xcelera will queue an audit on the next scheduled interval, or you can trigger one immediately from the page detail view.
Each audit runs Lighthouse multiple times and applies statistical analysis to produce a stable result rather than a single noisy data point.
One page, daily, for a week. That gives you enough data to see a real trend before you decide whether to add more pages or change the schedule.
Reading your results
The dashboard shows score history over time. Click into any audit for the full breakdown: Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, SEO, and individual metrics like LCP, TBT, and CLS.
A single score on its own is noisy. The trend across a week of daily audits is where the signal is.
