summary
Shows a concrete workflow: use the Cypress Audit plugin to run Lighthouse inside Cypress, call cy.lighthouse from tests, and gate CI (GitHub Actions) on thresholds. Demonstrates a failing example where accessibility 77 breaks a default threshold 100, explains aiming for 90+ as “good,” and shows how UX research (user interviews, accessibility needs) changes the fix from simple stairs to an elevator. Emphasizes preventing rework, saving time and money, and prioritizing real user pain points.
