Targets whose home page redirects are checked at /robots.txt (closes #194)
check / check (push) Canceled after 0s

A check follows a redirect and times the request to the new URL too. So the AWS Console, the Google Cloud Console, Akamai, B2 and the eight S3 regions are now checked at /robots.txt on their own host, which answers without a redirect. Before, the S3 and B2 figures also timed a page on another host. The S3 regions are checked with HEAD, because Chrome closes the connection after a GET of their /robots.txt and the figure would then include connection setup every time. README.md says what a figure includes.

Reports name a target by its URL, so these targets' samples are stored under the new URLs.
