A five-tap navigation audit checks whether a user can find essential controls without searching through layers of menus. The tasks are deliberately ordinary: locate account settings, find safer-gambling tools, and reach help. A short route is useful, but tap count alone does not establish good usability.

Otherwise the difference may come from caching, background activity or the server rather than the connection. This article sets out the precise protocol, measurements and reporting rules for compari
