This is tricky if the author's spellcheck breaks words differently from the built-in spellcheck. Also, the website might have its own idea of the user's custom dictionary, which might be more correct than the browser's (like if all Google sites tracked a custom dictionary for you and you were using someone else's computer). And the author's spellcheck might actually be flagging a grammar error, or using context-sensitive info to figure out that even though a particular word is fine in general it's a mistake here. So I'd be hesitant to say anything like this.
