 +This was still introduced as another option that works for both operating systems. However, there were no clear instructions on how to launch the tool and make it work apart from the sentence 'DevTools can be launched from the command line'. We still managed to use it at the end. We found that it is very comprehensive for monitoring the performance of an app. It has tools for memory, CPU, UI, network and many more. The only downside is that it is a bit overwhelming. Adding a step by step tutorial explaining how it works will be useful to the students.

 ++ The tool was easy and straightforward. Our results were the following:
  
 +{{:ixc2024:team_3:4.png?400|}}
  
 +==LightHouse==
 +- There is no link to the information page (or further details page) software provided 
 +
 +- When queried in google, any page with correct information is near impossible to find via searching “lighthouse”, as this is a common word. Further, even when specifying “lighthouse sustainability” or “lighthouse website measurement”, for example, it still does not appear. Due to this error in the guidelines, this software is very difficult to find  and can lead users to incorrect, and potentially  harmful sites 
 +
 +- We were also not able to find this tool on any other browser apart from GoogleChrome
 +
 +- We discovered that you can implement lighthouse directy to the production build on Netlify. Netlify was the recommended software by the web development guidelines team. Therefore it would have made more sense to recommend users to implement it this way, rather than the browser version that is not compatible with many broswers, and thus cannot be utilized by many users.

 +- Even after figuring out how to use the tool, our results were looking weird and not really understandable. We weren't able to interpret them at all. It would have been nice to have some guidelines explaining how the tool works exactly
 +

 +==Green Frame==
 +
 +-Should mention the in-depth reporting version is NOT free  
 +
 +==Aalto University - Green Page Analyzer==
 +
 ++This tool was quite useful, and helped show the various impacts of the application, as well as how specific compartments of the application impact the sustainability report (such as details on specific inmages)
