Google Chrome Developer Tools Lighthouse Audit Tips

This post shows some of the tips that appear during the auditing process when generating a report using Lighthouse within Google Chrome Developer Tools.

I saw these tips flash up and they sounded quite interesting but they kept disappearing when the audit finished before I had a chance to read them.  I screen grabbed a few and thought I'd share them.
