one check

Measure a browser you are not sitting at

The ordinary flow assumes a person in front of the browser being measured: consent, a click, a short pointer task. The browser you actually want to check is usually headless on another machine. This gives you a one-time address to open with it.

What this one page cannot tell you

How that browser is operated. Layer 4 measures a hand moving and typing, and there is no hand, so it is reported as not available with the reason 'this needs your hand on the device'. Calling it a gap of the browser would be wrong: the same browser would produce it if someone were sitting there.

The interesting part is usually not a single value but the disagreement between two. The full check reads all five layers and shows you where they contradict each other.
