 The perf-tester element accepts an array of `tests` which are html files containing perf tests to run. A simple "runner.html" as is shown in `/demo` can be created to display output.
 
-Each test file should load `perf.js` and call `console.perf()` to start the test and `console.perfEnd()` to finish it.

+### Node script
+
+Run the node-script with
+
+    node node-perf-tester.js
+
+The available options are:
+
+    --runs Number of runs to measure on
+    --targets The file location of a JSON-structured file with the following format:
+
+            [
+                ["<type>", "<url>"]

+

+
+    --port The port number to connect the protocol to. Use this when you are connecting to a separate device. If this argument is not provided, chrome-headless is used.
+    --throttling one of [FAST_3G, SLOW_3G] If not running in Chrome headless, you can enable throttling with one of the two options.
