Hi,
Reading by various things like headings would be for skimming, as you probably know. I'm not trying to insult your intelligence. Speaking only from my experience, when I first encounter a web page on my phone, I like to swipe through it all. Later, if I know what I'm looking for, I skip things. As a tester, I always use rightword swipes to go through a page so that I don't miss anything.
Thanks.
Jim

Reminder that "touch" isn't purely a mobile/tablet input mechanism.
There are in fact many hybrid/two-in-one laptops with touchscreens, and even standalone touchscreens for desktop computers.
Also, a reminder that you can't really detect touchscreens - https://hacks.mozilla.org/2013/04/detecting-touch-its-the-why-not-the-how/
Related: is "explore by touch" really such a great concern? I always thought this was more of a navigation of last resort for blind/VI touchscreen users, when using swipe (with the different modes for also navigating directly to headings, landmarks, etc) wasn't working all that well.
