Lighthouse Extension Dashboard Blank Screen after Bulk Audit (~900 sites)

Support
1

Hi MainWP Support Team,

I triggered an “Audit All Sites” command via the MainWP REST API for my network of approximately 900 Child Sites. Since running this API call, the Lighthouse Extension tab in my dashboard shows only a blank white screen.

Troubleshooting Attempted: I increased my server resources to PHP Memory Limit: 2048M and increased PHP threads.

  • Result: The Lighthouse dashboard now loads (the white screen is gone).

  • Current Problem: The dashboard list is incomplete. It does not show all connected sites; a significant number of child sites are missing from the report list entirely.

Could you confirm if the REST API handles bulk audits asynchronously with a queue? Or any suggestion if I need to bulk audits around 900 sites as monthly.

How can I ensure all sites are audited without timing out the server or crashing the dashboard view?

Thank you,

Sandy

Hey @sandysaille

Thanks for flagging this.

I’ve forwarded it to our team and they will investigate if the REST API call triggers the audit in batches or all at once, which might explain this behavior you’re seeing.

Thank you so much, please keep me posted.

The team looked into it, and the API call does not run all Audits at once.

But they did discover some other smaller issues that can impact performance when there’s a large number of sites.

They have prepared a pre-release of the Lighthouse add-on. I will be sending it to you via a DM.

Please try it out when you can and let us know if the performance improves when triggering an audit of all sites via the REST API.

Ok, got it. I’ll test and will let you know how it helps for audit all sites.

Should I also able to run audit all sites via the REST API?

Yes, please try running an audit of all sites via the REST API.

Hi Bojan,

I’ve tested with the pre-release version, and tried to running the audit of all sites via the REST API. (https://omnidashboard.kinsta.cloud//wp-json/mainwp/v2/lighthouse/audit)

I noticed that the pre-release version is also version 5.1.2 which is same version as the official release version, does the files you sent me is the same official release or the new one? Because I also using the current official version when I found this issue.

Result of testing:

Questions:

  • Could you please help to confirm for the pre-release version can help solve this issue?

  • Do you have any idea why the lighthouse dashboard can’t show all child sites with pagination?

  • In the REST API, is it able to show more details in the response to see which site is currently running the audit? Because after I triggered the API, the response just return only how many sites will be audit? How long the API will run for auditing all sites?

One additional note:

  • If the child site listed on the lighthouse overview page, when click to see in the child site dashboard, the lighthouse show the latest audit date correctly. Please see the screenshots below for the lighthouse overview and the child site details pages.

No, the files are not the same. It is our standard practice to use the same version number in pre-releases. So once we release an official build with an increased version number, your pre-release will detect it as an available update.

Not at this time, and estimating this would be difficult because the time it takes will depend on the Google API and the complexity of the site being audited.

For the issue of pagination and audit scores not showing the latest audit attempts - please open a private Help Desk ticket so we can collect some additional information & investigate further.

Please refer to this Community thread by its URL in the ticket.

A fix for this issue was released in version 5.2 of the Lighthouse add-on on Jan 13, 2026.

Thanks again for reporting this to us.
