Field notes
Visitors can enter a site address for a fresh check or browse preset entries for retailers, resale platforms, and ticketing services. The page says a reading takes about 15 seconds and usually lands within ±20 ms; each result carries its own margin. It also documents clock-drift examples, including a university server reported to drift about two seconds per day and a resale site whose servers differed by as much as 0.7 seconds.
