grunt-psi

Automate running Google PageSpeed Insights and record metrics with Grunt

Getting Started

This plugin requires Grunt ~0.4.5

If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:

npm install grunt-psi --save-dev

Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:

grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-psi');

The "psi" task

Overview

In your project's Gruntfile, add a section named psi to the data object passed into grunt.initConfig().

grunt.initConfig({
  psi: {
    options: {
      // Task-specific options go here.
    }
  },
});
