About Blurry-eye Test

Are users having a hard time navigating your website? Are they finding it unstructured? Are users able to locate the call to action on your signup page? The blurry-eye test (also known as the squint test) is a test that allows you to identify if a webpage has a clear pattern or structure by blurring it. If the structure disappears, then chances are your users are having a hard time navigating your website. This extension allows you to blur any webpage, and will keep it blurred while you interact with it. If you navigate to a new page, you will have to re-blur it.
