I think they are cached only a few minutes, but I couldn't find docs about the exact duration.

With many clients relying on PageSpeed Insight to know how "fast" their site is, I've noticed that its Lighthouse scores are really unstable, with sometimes 20 points differences just a few minutes apart… 🤷‍♂️

So I'm glad you chose to put this elsewhere! 😅

yeah, I definitely can echo this sentiment. The numbers are… not reliable. And worse, they are cached on the server so it’s hard to even do a median run selection across multiple runs (because all the runs are the same cached data).
