Looks like you've spent a bunch of time on it. :)

Just logged in, and although I can see various machines already set up,
there don't seem to be any test results I can look through.

Was hoping there would be, as I'm a bit unclear (personally) what kind
of perf testing is done, and/or how the results are displayed. ;)

Looked through the GitHub repo, the readme and report.md seemed focused
on the specifics of the web application, not really covering the info
of "what does this do?" in a way I (a complete newbie to your project)
would grok.

Maybe add some screenshots near the top of the GitHub readme, and the
website landing page, showing a completed perf testing result would
fix the info gap? :)

Regards and best wishes,
