There's one metric Google's lighthouse doesn't look for, and it's huge to me. Speed while switching pages on a PWA, and if there's a loading spinner on every single page change, whether you loaded it or not.
A site I built splits JS and waits the 20ms for it to be downloaded, then switches the page. Other sites I see will put up a loading spinner every time and leads to a horrible user experience.
