"Press the button to check the page's heading structure. A pop-up will appear, helping you determine if the heading levels are nested correctly and are appropriate for the content. You can close this pop-up to continue viewing the page."

Rationale:

"We need to provide more context before the bookmarklet, so users don't have to scroll back and forth to understand what's happening. This is especially important for people who need to zoom or are using mobile devices. Providing a short description of what the bookmarklet does will also be helpful to screen reader users and others, even if they cannot use the bookmarklet or are having trouble getting the tool to work. Context needs to be added before all easy check bookmarklets to improve usability.

Not really sure about the order of the surrounding text. My focus is more so on the fact that there needs to be additional instructions/a description above the bookmark button for context. This will help some users with or without disabilities.
