The pressure regulator
Homes with a pressure-reducing valve can lose pressure as the valve wears. A gauge test on a hose bib confirms whether the regulator is the culprit.

A hidden leak
A leak in the main line or inside the house can drop pressure across the whole system. The meter test helps rule this in or out.
