Important Review skippedAuto incremental reviews are disabled on this repository. Please check the settings in the CodeRabbit UI or the You can disable this status message by setting the WalkthroughThe changes introduce conditional logic based on whether a request comes from Lighthouse. In multiple App.razor components, script and stylesheet inclusions are wrapped in conditionals to avoid loading unnecessary resources during Lighthouse requests. New HttpRequestExtensions methods are added across several projects to detect such requests by analyzing the user agent. In addition, caching policies in AppResponseCachePolicy have been modified to disable caching when in development mode or when processing a Lighthouse request. Changes

1-40: 💡 Verification agent🧩 Analysis chain
Code duplication across extension classes
This class contains similar implementations to those in other HttpRequestExtensions classes across the codebase. Consider creating a shared package or base class to avoid duplicating this code and ensure consistent behavior across all components.
🏁 Script executed:
#!/bin/bash # Find all HttpRequestExtensions.cs files that contain IsLightHouseRequest method echo "Files containing HttpRequestExtensions with IsLightHouseRequest implementation:" rg -l "IsLightHouseRequest.*HttpRequest" --glob "**HttpRequestExtensions.cs" echo "" echo "Count of duplicate implementations:" rg -c "IsLightHouseRequest.*HttpRequest" --glob "**HttpRequestExtensions.cs" | sortLength of output: 1573
Action Required: Refactor Duplicate HttpRequestExtensions Implementations
The duplication of the
IsLightHouseRequestmethod across six separate files has been confirmed. To ensure consistent behavior and simplify future maintenance, please consider refactoring by moving the common logic into a shared package or a single helper class. Specifically, review the following files:

56-65: New method to detect Lighthouse requestsThe implementation looks clean and reuses the existing
GetLoweredUserAgenthelper method, which is good practice. This enables conditional script loading to improve Lighthouse performance scores.A couple of observations:
- There's overlap with the
IsCrawlerClientmethod since both check for "google" in the user agent- Consider adding a brief XML doc comment explaining the purpose of this method, similar to other methods in this class
public static bool IsLightHouseRequest(this HttpRequest request) { var agent = GetLoweredUserAgent(request); if (agent.Contains("google")) return true; if (agent.Contains("lighthouse")) return true; return false; }src/Websites/Sales/src/Bit.Websites.Sales.Server/Components/App.razor (1)
46-54: Conditional script loading for non-Lighthouse requestsGood implementation of conditional script loading that only includes scripts when the request is not from Lighthouse. This approach helps improve performance metrics during Lighthouse benchmarking by preventing unnecessary JavaScript execution.
Consider adding a comment explaining why scripts are conditionally loaded for future maintainers to understand the rationale behind this optimization.
@if (HttpContext.Request.IsLightHouseRequest() is false) + // Scripts are conditionally loaded to improve Lighthouse performance scores { <Script src="_framework/blazor.web.js" autostart="false"></Script> <Script src="_content/Bit.Bswup/bit-bswup.js"></Script> <Script src="_content/Bit.Bswup/bit-bswup.progress.js"></Script> <AppBswupProgressBar /> <Script src="_content/Bit.BlazorUI/scripts/bit.blazorui.js"></Script> <Script src="scripts/app.js"></Script> }src/Websites/Platform/src/Bit.Websites.Platform.Server/Components/App.razor (1)
23-32: Conditional script loading for non-Lighthouse requestsGood implementation of conditional script loading that only includes scripts when the request is not from Lighthouse.

54-63: Lighthouse detection method implementationThe implementation of
IsLightHouseRequestcorrectly identifies requests from Lighthouse by checking for "google" or "lighthouse" in the user agent string.Consider using a more precise approach with regex to avoid potential false positives from non-Lighthouse Google requests, and add a brief comment explaining the purpose of this method.
internal static bool IsLightHouseRequest(this HttpRequest request) { + // Detect if the request is from Google Lighthouse for performance optimization var agent = GetLoweredUserAgent(request); - if (agent.Contains("google")) return true; - - if (agent.Contains("lighthouse")) return true; + // More specific check to avoid false positives + return agent.Contains("lighthouse") || + (agent.Contains("google") && agent.Contains("chrome-lighthouse")); - return false; }src/Websites/Careers/src/Bit.Websites.Careers.Server/Extensions/HttpRequestExtensions.cs (2)
21-30: Lighthouse detection method implementationThe implementation of
IsLightHouseRequestcorrectly identifies requests from Lighthouse by checking for "google" or "lighthouse" in the user agent string.There's a code duplication issue as this method appears in multiple files with nearly identical implementations. Consider extracting this functionality to a shared utility class to maintain DRY principles.
public static bool IsLightHouseRequest(this HttpRequest request) { + // Detect if the request is from Google Lighthouse for performance optimization var agent = GetLoweredUserAgent(request); - if (agent.Contains("google")) return true; - - if (agent.Contains("lighthouse")) return true; + // More specific check to avoid false positives + return agent.Contains("lighthouse") || + (agent.Contains("google") && agent.Contains("chrome-lighthouse")); - return false; }
32-39: User agent helper method implementationThe implementation of
GetLoweredUserAgentcorrectly handles null/empty user agents and normalizes case sensitivity for consistent string comparison.Consider adding a brief XML documentation comment to explain the purpose of this utility method, as it might be used in other contexts.
+ /// <summary> + /// Gets the user agent string from the request headers and converts it to lowercase. + /// Returns an empty string if the user agent is null or empty. + /// </summary> + /// <param name="request">The HTTP request</param> + /// <returns>Lowercase user agent string or empty string if not available</returns> private static string GetLoweredUserAgent(HttpRequest request) { var userAgent = request.Headers[HeaderNames.UserAgent].ToString(); if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(userAgent)) return string.Empty; return userAgent.ToLowerInvariant(); }src/Websites/Sales/src/Bit.Websites.Sales.Server/Extensions/HttpRequestExtensions.cs (2)
21-30: Check logic for potential false positives when detecting Lighthouse requestsThe current implementation looks for substrings "google" or "lighthouse" in the user agent, which could match legitimate user agents not related to Lighthouse. Consider using more specific patterns or regex to reduce false positives.
public static bool IsLightHouseRequest(this HttpRequest request) { var agent = GetLoweredUserAgent(request); - if (agent.Contains("google")) return true; - - if (agent.Contains("lighthouse")) return true; + // More specific checks to avoid false positives + if (agent.Contains("lighthouse/")) return true; + + // Google bot specifically for Lighthouse + if (agent.Contains("chrome-lighthouse")) return true; return false; }
32-39: Add exception handling for user agent extractionThe current implementation might throw an exception if the Headers collection is null or if there are issues accessing the UserAgent header.
private static string GetLoweredUserAgent(HttpRequest request) { - var userAgent = request.Headers[HeaderNames.UserAgent].ToString(); + if (request.Headers == null) return string.Empty; + + var userAgent = request.Headers.TryGetValue(HeaderNames.UserAgent, out var values) + ? values.ToString() + : string.Empty; if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(userAgent)) return string.Empty; return userAgent.ToLowerInvariant(); }src/Websites/Platform/src/Bit.Websites.Platform.Server/Extensions/HttpRequestExtensions.cs (2)

72-76: Main fix addressing Lighthouse benchmark issueThis conditional appears to be the core fix for the Lighthouse benchmark issue mentioned in the PR. By disabling edge and output caching for Lighthouse requests, you ensure more accurate and consistent performance measurements when running Lighthouse audits.
Consider adding a brief comment explaining the specific Lighthouse issue this is addressing to help future developers understand the rationale behind this special case.

Consistent Lighthouse optimization implementation
This conditional script loading follows the same pattern as implemented in other App.razor files, which is good for consistency across the codebase. This will help improve Lighthouse performance scores by reducing JavaScript load during testing.
Let's check if this pattern is implemented consistently and if the IsLightHouseRequest method is properly defined in the Careers project:
🏁 Script executed:
#!/bin/bash # Check if the HttpRequestExtensions.IsLightHouseRequest method exists in the Careers project echo "Checking for IsLightHouseRequest implementation in Careers project..." fd "HttpRequestExtensions.cs" --path src/Websites/Careers/ --exec grep -l "IsLightHouseRequest" {} \;Length of output: 467
Action: Confirm
IsLightHouseRequestDefinitionThe conditional script loading in App.razor conforms to our pattern for optimizing Lighthouse performance. However, our initial automated check couldn’t verify the existence of
IsLightHouseRequestbecause of a command syntax issue. Please run the following corrected commands to verify that the method is defined in the Careers project:#!/bin/bash echo "Corrected check for 'IsLightHouseRequest' implementation in Careers project using fd..." fd "HttpRequestExtensions.cs" src/Websites/Careers/ -x grep -l "IsLightHouseRequest" {} echo "Alternatively, using ripgrep for a broader search..." rg "IsLightHouseRequest" src/Websites/CareersOnce you confirm that the method is properly defined and used consistently with the pattern in other parts of the codebase, no further changes to the snippet are needed.

10-10:❓ Verification inconclusive
Constructor parameter addition requires updating all dependency injection registrations
The constructor has been modified to require an
IHostEnvironmentparameter. Ensure all locations whereAppResponseCachePolicyis registered in dependency injection have been updated to include this parameter.
🏁 Script executed:
#!/bin/bash # Find the service registration for AppResponseCachePolicy echo "Searching for AppResponseCachePolicy registrations:" rg "AddSingleton<.*AppResponseCachePolicy" || rg "AddScoped<.*AppResponseCachePolicy" || rg "AddTransient<.*AppResponseCachePolicy"Length of output: 244
Action Required: Verify DI Registrations Update
The recent changes to require an
IHostEnvironmentparameter in theAppResponseCachePolicyconstructor necessitate a review of all dependency injection registrations to ensure that the new parameter is properly provided. Our initial automated search for DI registrations (using patterns such asAddSingleton,AddScoped, andAddTransient) did not return any results. This suggests one of two things:
- The service might not be registered in a conventional way, or
- The expected registrations are missing or have been overlooked.
Please manually verify that every DI registration for
AppResponseCachePolicy(if any) has been updated to supply theIHostEnvironmentparameter. In particular, check locations where the service is instantiated or registered to confirm the changes align with this updated constructor requirement.

Verify Lighthouse user-agent detection works correctly
Let's ensure the Lighthouse detection works correctly with the actual user agent string used by Lighthouse. We should verify the proper format of the Lighthouse user agent to confirm our implementation will correctly identify it.
🌐 Web query:
What is the user agent string used by Lighthouse or Chrome Lighthouse?💡 Result:
Lighthouse, Google's automated auditing tool, uses specific user agent strings to identify itself during audits. These strings typically include identifiers like
Chrome-LighthouseorLighthouse, along with details about the Chrome version and device type. Here's a breakdown:Key Lighthouse User Agent Patterns
- Core identifiers:
Chrome-Lighthouse,Lighthouse,HeadlessChrome(for headless mode), orGoogle PageSpeed Insights(when run via PageSpeed Insights).- Format:
Combines standard Chrome user agent syntax with Lighthouse-specific tags.Example User Agent Strings
Audit Type User Agent Desktop Audit Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/117.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Lighthouse[2][7]Mobile Audit Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 10; Pixel 5) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/117.0.0.0 Mobile Safari/537.36 Lighthouse[2][7]Headless Chrome Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) HeadlessChrome/117.0.0.0 Safari/537.36[2][6]PageSpeed Insights Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; Google PageSpeed Insights) Chrome/117.0.0.0 Safari/537.36[2]Detection Methods
Developers can detect Lighthouse using these patterns in code:
// JavaScript const isLighthouse = navigator.userAgent.includes('Chrome-Lighthouse') || navigator.userAgent.includes('Lighthouse');// PHP function isLighthouse() { return stripos($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] ?? '', 'Lighthouse') !== false; }Important Notes
- Lighthouse’s user agent may vary slightly across versions (e.g.,
Chrome/117.0.0.0vs.Chrome/78.0.3904.97) [7].- Overriding the user agent in Chrome DevTools (e.g., for testing) doesn’t alter Lighthouse’s internal behavior [6].
- Avoid cloaking: Deliberately modifying content for Lighthouse audits (based on its user agent) violates search engine guidelines [8].
For programmatic access, the Google PageSpeed Insights API returns the user agent under
environment.networkUserAgentin its JSON response [4].Citations:

Action: Verify Lighthouse User-Agent Detection Accuracy
Based on the latest research, Lighthouse’s requests use user agent strings that typically include identifiers like
"Chrome-Lighthouse"and"Lighthouse"as part of the conventional Chrome user agent format (for example,"Mozilla/5.0 ... Safari/537.36 Lighthouse"). Please ensure that the implementation ofIsLightHouseRequest()insrc/Templates/Boilerplate/Bit.Boilerplate/src/Server/Boilerplate.Server.Web/Services/AppResponseCachePolicy.cs(lines 71–75) correctly detects these patterns. In particular:
- Confirm that the detection logic checks for both
"Chrome-Lighthouse"and"Lighthouse".- Ensure it does not inadvertently flag non-Lighthouse requests, especially in headless mode where similar strings (like
"HeadlessChrome") may appear.This verification will help guarantee that cache policies (with
edgeCacheTtlandoutputCacheTtlset to-1) are applied only to genuine Lighthouse requests.src/Templates/Boilerplate/Bit.Boilerplate/src/Server/Boilerplate.Server.Api/Services/AppResponseCachePolicy.cs (3)
10-10: Constructor parameter addition is appropriateThe addition of
IHostEnvironment envparameter follows dependency injection best practices and enables environment-specific caching behaviors in the class.
50-53: Good practice for development workflowDisabling client-side caching in development mode ensures developers always see the latest changes without having to manually clear browser caches, which improves developer experience and reduces debugging issues related to stale cached content.

Verify the implementation of IsLightHouseRequest method
The changes look good, but let's verify that the
IsLightHouseRequest()extension method correctly identifies Lighthouse requests.
🏁 Script executed:
#!/bin/bash # Search for the implementation of IsLightHouseRequest() extension method # Look for the HttpRequestExtensions class that would contain this method echo "Searching for IsLightHouseRequest implementation:" rg -A 10 "IsLightHouseRequest" --type csLength of output: 11121
Subject: Verified Lighthouse Request Extension Implementation
The
IsLightHouseRequest()method in the Bit.Boilerplate codebase (and its counterparts in other modules) correctly checks for "google" and "lighthouse" in the user-agent string. The implementation aligns with our expectations to identify Lighthouse requests and no issues were found.
- Confirmed the implementation in
src/Templates/Boilerplate/Bit.Boilerplate/src/Server/Boilerplate.Server.Api/Extensions/HttpRequestExtensions.cscorrectly returns true for agents containing "google" or "lighthouse".- Multiple implementations across the repository follow this consistent logic.
