About this half minute click test
This 30 second CPS test asks for half a minute of steady clicking. It is long enough that you cannot sprint the whole way, so it shows how you pace yourself: how fast you start, where you settle, and when your hand begins to give. The clock starts with your first click or tap. The result is your clicks per second, written CPS, with the clicks of every few seconds listed below it. The test is free, needs no account, and your results stay in this browser.
How to take the half minute test
- Press Start and settle your hand on the mouse or above the screen.
- Begin with a pace that feels a little easy. You have a long way to go.
- Keep going until the half minute is over. The seconds left are shown at the top of the screen.
- Read your clicks per second and look at the list of five second stretches to see where the pace changed.
How to read a half minute result
No study has measured how fast people click, so we cannot place you among other people. The ranges that click-test sites quote for each way of clicking are community ranges, not norms, and we draw them with a dashed line[1]. Sites usually give them for short tests, so over half a minute you should expect to fall below the range for your way of clicking.
| Way of clicking | Clicks a second |
|---|---|
| Ordinary clicking with one finger | 3 to 9 (community range, not a norm)[1] |
| Jitter clicking | 10 to 14 (community range, not a norm)[1] |
| Butterfly clicking | 15 to 25 (community range, not a norm)[1] |
| Drag clicking | 25 to 100 (community range, not a norm)[1] |
The first view sets your half minute beside what one click-test site says an average person keeps up, 5 to 7 (community range, not a norm)[2] clicks a second[2]. A better yardstick still is yourself. The page keeps your earlier half minute runs in this browser and shows your best, so you can see whether practice moves the number.
What half a minute measures
In a short run the number depends on how fast your hand can move. In half a minute it depends just as much on how well you share your effort across the time. Two people with the same top speed can score very differently if one starts all out and the other settles into a pace. That is why the five second stretches matter more here than the single number.
Your clicks never leave this browser. The result is saved here, shown to you, and never put into a link or sent anywhere. You can read about us to see who makes the site.
Spreading the effort
A good half minute run looks flat: the first stretch is not much higher than the last. A run that starts high and falls away means the early pace was more than the hand could hold. Next time, start lower. A run that rises in the middle and drops at the end often means the first seconds were spent finding a rhythm.
- Pick one pace in the first five seconds and hold it.
- Relax your shoulder. A tight shoulder tires the whole arm.
- Breathe out steadily. Holding your breath makes the hand tense.
- Keep your eyes on one spot. Moving your gaze to the counter breaks the rhythm.
Where the middle of the run goes
Around the middle of a half minute test many people feel a dip. The early energy has gone and the end is not yet in sight. The list of five second stretches shows whether you have it too. If you do, the answer is practice at this length, because the dip gets shorter once the hand knows what to expect. If you want a quicker check, the CPS test offers shorter lengths.
Questions
Is half a minute too long for a click test?
It is long for a hand that is not used to it, and you may feel the muscles of your forearm tire. Stop if it aches. The page does not need a full run to work, and nothing is saved if you stop.
Why does the page group the seconds?
Thirty rows would be hard to read. Stretches of five seconds are short enough to show where your pace changed and few enough to take in at a glance.
Is my score lower than on the shorter tests?
Almost always, because a hand slows over time. Compare a half minute score with other half minute scores, not with a one second burst.
Can I choose another length?
On this page it stays at half a minute. The CPS test lets you pick any length from one second to a hundred.
