Holding a key down does not count, so every press has to be a new one.

How to use the CPS test

Pick a test length

Short tests of 1 or 5 seconds show your top speed. Tests of 30 to 100 seconds show stamina, because almost everyone slows down as the hand tires.

Compare scores only with tests of the same length. A 1-second score is usually higher than a 60-second one.

Click until the time runs out

The clock starts with your first click, so take your time getting ready. Only the left mouse button counts. On a phone or tablet every tap counts, including taps with a second finger.

To test a keyboard instead, choose Spacebar presses. Press Esc or Stop test to cancel a run.

Read your result

Your score is the number of clicks divided by the test length. The box stays locked for a moment afterwards so a late click does not start a new test by accident.

Your best score for each length is kept on this device until you clear it.

These labels are our own scale for clicking with one finger. They are not an average of other people's scores.

The gap graph

Each point is the time between two clicks, in milliseconds, plotted across the test. Lower is faster. The dashed line marks your average gap.

A line that climbs toward the end means you slowed down. First half → second half puts a number on that drop.

Steadiness

Steadiness is the standard deviation of your gaps. A small number such as ±15 ms means an even rhythm. A large one means bursts and pauses.

Two people can score the same CPS with very different rhythms. An even rhythm usually holds up better over a long test.

How to click faster

Regular clicking

One finger presses the button in the normal way. It is the easiest to keep up for a long time and the fairest way to compare scores with friends.

Jitter and butterfly clicking

Jitter clicking tenses the arm so the finger vibrates on the button. Butterfly clicking uses two fingers on the same button in turn. Both raise CPS, but jitter clicking can strain the wrist, so stop if it hurts.

Drag clicking

A finger is dragged across the button so friction makes it bounce and register many clicks in one movement. It depends on the mouse and its surface. Some game servers treat very high click rates as a sign of an auto clicker, so check their rules first.

CPS test FAQ

How is CPS calculated?

Clicks divided by the length of the test in seconds. Forty clicks in a 5-second test is 8 CPS. The number shown while you click is your clicks so far divided by the time so far, which is why it jumps around at the start.

Why were some of my clicks not counted?

Clicks outside the box, right clicks and middle clicks are not counted, and neither are clicks after the time runs out. In spacebar mode a key held down counts once. If clicks go missing inside the box, the mouse switch may be wearing out; a failing switch can also turn one click into two.

Does the CPS test work on a phone?

Yes. Tap the box with one or more fingers; every tap counts. Phone scores are not directly comparable with mouse scores because tapping a glass screen is a different movement.

Are my best scores saved?

They are saved in this browser on this device and are never uploaded. A private window, another browser or clearing your site data starts you from zero. Clear deletes them on purpose.

How can I click faster?

Rest your wrist, relax the shoulder and keep the finger close to the button so each press is short. Practise with 5-second tests for speed and 30-second tests for stamina, and take breaks if your hand or wrist aches.
