 <Warning>
 A check using [the Playwright Test Runner (`@playwright/test`)](https://playwright.dev/docs/intro) will currently run around 30-50% longer than [a regular Playwright check (`playwright`)](https://playwright.dev/docs/library). This is caused by the automatic creation of trace and video assets. We are aware of this and are investigating solutions. If this is significantly degrading the performance of your check, we recommend to divide longer tests into multiple checks.

 Checkly supports Playwright's [`globalTimeout`](https://playwright.dev/docs/api/class-testconfig#test-config-global-timeout). Use it to control the maximum duration of the Playwright suite after `npx playwright test` starts.
 
+To disable automatic trace header injection, define `use.extraHTTPHeaders` in your Playwright configuration. A top-level value disables injection for the whole suite. A project-level value disables it only for that project. An empty object also disables injection. Checkly preserves the headers that you define, and the [built-in trace environment variables](/detect/synthetic-monitoring/playwright-checks/environment-variables#built-in-variables-in-playwright-check-suites) remain available.
+
 Playwright Check Suites also provide specific configuration for your Playwright monitoring.
 
 * `installCommand:` Override the command to install dependencies. `npm install --dev` is used by default.
