About the CPS Test
This CPS Test measures how many times you can click in a set time. Choose a test length from 1 to 60 seconds, then click the big area as fast as you can; the timer starts on your first click and stops by itself. You get your clicks, your clicks per second to two decimals, a rating from Slow to Extreme, and details about the gaps between clicks: average, fastest, slowest and how steady you were. You can test mouse clicks or the spacebar, and taps work on a touch screen. The result depends on your mouse, screen and browser, and it is for fun, not a certified measurement. The best score for each length is remembered on your device. Nothing is sent anywhere.

How to use the CPS Test
- 1Pick a test length, from 1 to 60 seconds, and a mode: mouse click or spacebar.
- 2Click the large area (or press the spacebar) to start. The timer begins on your first click.
- 3Keep clicking until the time runs out.
- 4Read your clicks per second, rating and gap details, then press Try again or copy the result.
How the CPS test works
A CPS test counts how many times you click during a fixed time. The clock starts on your first click, not when you press a button, so you never lose time getting ready. It keeps running by the wall clock, so it is not affected by a slow page or a hidden tab. When the time ends, further clicks do not count, and your result appears at once.
Clicks outside the big area do not count, and the test carries on if your pointer leaves it. In spacebar mode, click the area once to focus it, then press the spacebar to start.
Average scores and ratings
The rating is a quick guide: below 3 clicks per second is Slow, 3 to 5 is Average, 5 to 7 is Fast, 7 to 10 is Very fast and 10 or more is Extreme. Many people score around 6 on a 10-second test with a normal mouse click.
The gap figures show more than the total. If your fastest gap is much smaller than your average, you clicked in bursts. The consistency label compares how much the gaps vary with their average, and a Very steady result means an even rhythm.
Ways to improve your speed
- Warm up your hand and wrist first.
- Use a light touch and a mouse with a quick, crisp button.
- Keep your forearm supported and relaxed.
- Try the 5 second test to practise bursts, then the 30 second test to build stamina.
- Stop if your hand or wrist hurts; speed is not worth an injury.
Mouse, trackpad and phone differences
A mouse with a light switch usually scores highest. A trackpad tap is often slower and some laptops ignore very fast taps. On a phone, taps are counted from the first finger, and a very fast series may be limited by the screen's touch rate. For fair comparisons, always use the same device and test length.
The spacebar mode measures your keyboard instead, which is useful if you want a different feel. Results are only for fun, and this page does not encourage auto-clickers. To check your typing instead of your clicking, try the Typing Speed Test. Try the Reaction Time Test for a different speed check, and use the Dice Roller if you want to play a game.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good CPS score?
For ordinary clicking, most people land between 5 and 7 clicks per second in a 10-second test. Under 3 is slow, 7 to 10 is very fast, and above 10 is extreme and usually needs a special clicking technique. Short tests give higher scores than long ones because you tire.
How is CPS calculated?
Your number of clicks is divided by the test time in seconds. 78 clicks in a 10-second test is 7.8 CPS. The tool counts only clicks made while the timer is running and rounds to two decimals.
How can I click faster?
Rest your hand lightly, click with your fingertip using small movements, and keep your wrist loose. Try a relaxed rhythm before you try for top speed, since tensing up slows you down. Practise a few short tests rather than one long test.
Is the CPS test accurate?
It is accurate enough for fun and for comparing your own tries, but not a lab measurement. Your mouse, screen, browser and even the operating system can merge or delay very fast clicks. Compare results on the same device for a fair picture.
What is the difference between 1, 5 and 10 second tests?
The shorter the test, the higher the score tends to be, because a 1-second burst does not tire your hand and the first click sets the clock. The 10-second test is a good balance, and the 30 and 60 second tests show your stamina.
Does jitter clicking count?
Jitter clicking, where you tense your arm to make it vibrate, can register on some mice and not on others. The tool counts every click your browser reports. Some devices merge very fast clicks, so a result may look lower than you expected. It is also tiring, so stop if your hand hurts.
