It's hard to take this blog post seriously when there is not one but THREE open Github issues which poses a serious question about the credibility of this whole pagespeed circus. It's just fundamentally wrong to claim that pagespeed speed score is based on the Lighthouse speed score when hundreds of people are reporting otherwise and even Lighthouse is suspiciously silent on this matter.
I've left significant levels of details about pagespeed on the lighthouse issue tracker over the last few months. It's really frustrating to see the lighthouse team being blamed for something that isn't operationally even theirs… but that's a big company for you.
The biggest contributing factor to unstable pagespeed scores is the power of the machines that do the tests. Last time I checked the scores / bench mark scores for pagespeed were all over the place. … All the same, it's really important to understand how it all works. Hopefully the post had something for you?
