Description

Instead of just this line with little explanation:

docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/sitespeed.io" sitespeedio/sitespeed.io:19.1.0 https://www.sitespeed.io/

It would be great to have an example page that isn't sitespeed.io, like

docker run --rm -v "$(pwd):/sitespeed.io" sitespeedio/sitespeed.io:19.1.0 https://www.sitetobetested.com/

And also a line about where the test result ends up on the harddrive. I didn't understand at all how to use this tool, but just a minute of watching https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xAdxCUX2Po&ab_channel=sitespeed.io cleared it up for me.

Research direction

Start with the tutorial on the sitespeed.io front page and locate the existing Docker command. Replace the self-referential URL with a generic example and explain where the test results are saved on the hard drive. Done means a newcomer can run the example and find its output without relying on the linked video.
