### What happened?
Hello,
I tested my website with Lighthouse Chrome extension, PageSpeed Insights and WebPageTest. The Chrome extension and PageSpeed Insights (but NOT WebPageTest) show the same problem: `` and `description meta` are missing on my website.
PageSpeed Insights:

[Lighthouse](https://googlechrome.github.io/lighthouse):

WebPageTest:

I'm scratching my head on whether it's an issue with my website or with LightHouse. I'm worried search engine fail at crawling my website correctly and would love to find the bottom of this. Google Search Console does show that the title and description tags are present, but at this point I don't know what to trust:

### What did you expect?
I'm not quite sure whether the problem is within my website, or a bug in Lighthouse. My website definitely provides a title and meta, but is there something on it blocking LightHouse from reading them? And does Google Search relies on this result for ranking?
### What have you tried?
My main concern is about the SEO of my website so I worked on it the past few days to ensure Title and Description tags are rendered right away using pre-rendering (my website is made with .NET Blazor Server).
I also checked the Google Search Console and do not see any important issue related to this.
