Assets from gstatic.com & googleapis.com should also be excluded from audit results

[carl-alberto]

Provide the steps to reproduce

1. Run LH on https://developers.google.com/speed/pagespeed/insights/?url=games.lol (or any sites that has gstatic.com or googleapis.com assets)

What is the current behavior?

Google assets from gstatic.com or googleapis.com do no follow their own audit rules and being flagged in Lighthouse

What is the expected behavior?

As per issue #6140, Google assets do no follow their own audit rules and should be excluded, but gstatic.com & googleapis.com seems not to be included on the excluded assets raised from that GH issues, should they also be excluded too?

Hi @carl-alberto, I think maybe the discussion in #6140 was misconstrued? The decision was not to exclude assets from gstatic from the Lighthouse report, it was to make sure they could be hidden by unchecking the "Show 3rd party resources" checkbox to see things from just the origin being tested. Resources from Google aren't treated any differently than resources from anywhere else for the render-blocking audit.

As for the checkbox, I'm not able to reproduce the behavior you have in your screenshot when I run against that site in DevTools. The checkbox is available and correctly filters out the resources from gstatic and cloudfront if unchecked.

Thanks for the reply @brendankenny

any reason why the checkbox for "show 3rd-party resources" enabled only from the eliminate render-blocking resources section only

And not available under remove unused javascript section

@carl-alberto the checkbox will be disabled when all resources in the table are 3rd party resources, i.e. we don't allow you to filter down to an empty table.
