This is a new one – found in a client site today. Script that sets all Lighthouse scores to 100%. I'm not overreacting, right? This is straight-up fabricating performance metrics by the previous agency. Seems insane.

One year into freelancing, and I'm booked 3 months out. I've 5x'd my rate from a year ago, including doubling in September alone - and that hasn't slowed it down. Only limit is my time. Absolutely wild that @webflow enables that kind of growth from starting at 0!

@SarkisBuniatyan So here's the thing... it doesn't work. If you run it directly in console on the Lighthouse page, it works. But just having it on the site doesn't somehow translate through to Lighthouse. Which just leaves me with more questions.

I've been getting in the habit of leaving documentation for my custom code in a Webflow embed element. Describes where to find code, its purpose, things to know. Visibility set to hidden excludes it from the DOM on publish, but it's available to remind me/inform future devs.

@jamannnnnn Exactly, that's the thing. A) it doesn't actually execute in Lighthouse, so the whole concept is null. B) they left in a typo that prevented it from running anyway. C) it doesn't clear the errors or even reset all the metrics on the page - so right below the row of all green,

Webflow tabs always open to the last tab you had open in the Designer. Often, you want the first tab to open by default – but forget to switch back to that one. This script opens the first tab by default, regardless of what you were working on in Webflow.

You may have seen the WF script that highlights broken links in the designer. Thinking of expanding to: - broken links - missing aria-labels - button elements that should be links - missing alt text - incorrect header order Not a full QA, but a quick look. What would you add?

#webflow tip - if you're ever just copy/pasting a bunch of content onto pages, switch to Editing mode. The interface is a ton faster, it's easier to click into the right element, and you get a good sense of how your client can manage their pages.
