Verify a website
Open Websites in your dashboard, add an HTTPS origin, and copy the verification value. Create a TXT record at _loadvm followed by your hostname. DNS changes can take time to become visible.
The essentials
Less guessing. More understanding.
A short guide to websites, verification, test limits, and the numbers in your reports.
Understand load metrics
p95 is the response time at or below which 95% of measured requests fall. Requests per second measures throughput. Error rate shows the proportion of failed requests. Compare all three.
Understand speed metrics
LCP relates to the largest visible content rendering; CLS describes unexpected layout movement; TBT measures blocked main-thread time in a lab run. These are lab measurements, not real-user field data.
Understand job status
Queued jobs wait for a compatible worker. Running jobs hold a worker lease. Completed jobs have results. Failed or cancelled jobs should be inspected before starting another test.
Current limits
Free workspaces are capped at 25 virtual users and 30 seconds per load test. Actual permitted settings also depend on server configuration. There are limits on active jobs and daily runs.
Troubleshoot a queued test
Check the worker connection and supported test type. The configured indicator means a worker credential exists, not that a worker is online. Real speed jobs require the Lighthouse worker to be enabled.
