Greater Clarity about how this might work in a CI/CD pipeline

Thanks so much for your work on web perf in general and Lighthouse in particular. The tools are super useful, and I'm hoping to figure out a way to generate Lighthouse reports in my CI environment on every build. I currently generate and archive Istanbul LCOV and Webpack Bundle Size reports in this manner. However, I'm not really clear on how this might work with this plugin.

The README shows that I need to preconfigure the plugin with an endpoint to test. Assuming that Webpack is generating is building the production bundle that I'm serving, I'm a bit unclear about how I might locally serve this new production bundle, execute the plugin, and then tear everything down.

Am I perhaps misunderstanding the use case for this plugin? If not, do you have any suggestions about how best to achieve this?

Hi @spmcbride1201 !

Here's what I found on testing lighthouse in a CI, which could be used w.r.t this plugin!
