TEST MODES EXPLAINED
5 modes — each tests a different dimension of your spacebar speed
SPEED MODE
The standard benchmark. Click as fast as possible within a time limit (5s / 10s / 15s / 30s / 60s). Average CPS is the primary score. Best for head-to-head comparisons and tracking improvement. Peak CPS is also recorded even if you only spiked for a second.
MARATHON MODE
Set a click target (50 / 100 / 200 / 500 / 1000) and race to hit it as fast as possible. Score = total time taken. Tests sustained speed under pressure — you know exactly where the finish line is, so pacing strategy matters.
RHYTHM MODE
Choose a target CPS (3 / 5 / 7 / 9 / 11) and match it precisely. A visual beat indicator pulses at the target frequency. Score = rhythm accuracy % based on how close each click lands to the beat. Great for consistency training.
BURST MODE
Multiple short rounds (1s / 2s / 3s) with automatic rest between them. Configure 3, 5, or 8 rounds. Tracks your best burst count and consistency between rounds. Round dots turn green as you complete each one. Ideal for peak speed training.
CUSTOM MODE
Full control — any duration (1–300s) and optional click target. Set both for a dual-constraint test. Leave target at 0 for a pure timer. Perfect for challenges like "can I hit 500 clicks in 45 seconds?"
REPEAT / AUTO MODE
Enable Auto-Repeat in Settings → Repeat. Configure number of sets, rest time, and whether to include an uncounted warmup round. Choose whether your best, average, or last set gets recorded to history.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR METRICS
What every number actually means
AVERAGE CPS
Total clicks ÷ total seconds. Your most reliable performance number — it smooths out spikes and slowdowns. A 10s test with 74 clicks = 7.4 CPS. This determines your Speed Rank and Composite Score.
PEAK CPS
Your highest 1-second burst during the test. Calculated from a rolling window (configurable: 500ms / 1s / 2s / 3s in Settings → Test). Peak CPS is almost always higher than average — it shows your true ceiling, not sustained rate.
CONSISTENCY %
How evenly spaced your clicks are. Derived from coefficient of variation of click intervals — lower variance = higher consistency. 100% = perfectly metronomic. Below 50% = highly erratic. Target 70%+ for solid performance.
ENDURANCE %
Compares click density in the last quarter vs first quarter of your test. 100% = full speed maintained throughout. Below 60% = significant fatigue. Use 30s or 60s tests to get a meaningful endurance reading.
REACTION TIME
Milliseconds from test start to your first click. Under 300ms = excellent (Lightning rank). Over 1500ms = hesitation. Measures mental readiness — doesn't affect CPS score but factors into your composite grade.
CLICK INTERVALS (ms)
Time between each consecutive click in ms. At 10 CPS you'd expect ~100ms intervals. Fastest interval = your single quickest back-to-back press. Std Dev = how spread out your timing is. Lower StdDev = more consistent rhythm.

MULTI-KEYWORD RANKING SYSTEM
6 independent rankings — each measures a different skill dimension
SPEED RANK
Based on average CPS across the full test. Scale: Rookie → Casual → Skilled → Fast → Expert → Pro → Insane → Godlike → God Tier. The primary rank most people care about — requires sustained speed, not just one lucky second.
PEAK RANK
Based on your highest CPS burst (same scale as Speed). Almost always higher than Speed Rank — it captures your best moment rather than your average. Shows your physical ceiling, not your sustained rate.
CONSISTENCY RANK
How evenly spaced your clicks are. Scale: Erratic → Unsteady → Moderate → Steady → Reliable → Machine → Metronome. A consistent clicker hits near the same interval every time — often more valuable than raw speed alone.
ENDURANCE RANK
How well you maintained speed from start to finish. Scale: Fading → Tired → Average → Strong → Iron → Titanium. Titanium = no speed drop at all. Best measured in 30s or 60s Speed Mode tests.
REACTION RANK
Milliseconds from test start to your first click. Scale: Delayed → Slow → Average → Quick → Sharp → Lightning. Sub-300ms = Lightning. Measures focus and readiness — factors into your composite grade.
OVERALL GRADE (F–S+)
Composite letter grade combining all 5 dimensions. Default weights: Speed 35%, Peak 20%, Consistency 20%, Endurance 15%, Reaction 10%. Customize weights in Settings → Score tab to match your priorities.
💡 Toggle which rank cards appear in results via Settings → Ranking tab. You can also change card style (grid / list / badge) and enable personal best comparison.
READING LIVE ANALYTICS
How to interpret your graphs and interval data
CPS GRAPH
Plots your CPS over the course of the test. Flat line = great consistency. Declining curve = fatigue. Rising curve = warm-up effect. The red dot marks your peak moment. Updates in real time while you click.
INTERVAL HEATMAP
Each bar = one click interval (time between two consecutive presses). Green bars = fast clicks. Red bars = slow clicks. Random red spikes = finger slips or hesitation. Bars are ordered left-to-right chronologically.
STD DEVIATION
Standard deviation of click intervals in ms. StdDev under 20ms = very rhythmic. Over 80ms = irregular timing. Elite clickers aim for under 15ms at speed — extremely difficult to achieve. Lower is always better.
FASTEST INTERVAL
Shortest gap between any two consecutive clicks. At 10 CPS expect ~100ms. At 14 CPS expect ~71ms. Your fastest interval shows your absolute physical speed limit in a single burst — the ceiling of your neuromuscular system.
MEDIAN INTERVAL
The middle value of all intervals when sorted. Less affected by outliers than average. Narrowing the gap between your median and fastest interval is a key training goal — it means your average click is approaching your best.
CPS WINDOW SETTING
Controls how "live" the CPS badge feels. 500ms = very reactive but jumpy. 1000ms = balanced (default). 2000ms or 3000ms = calm and smoothed. Shorter windows reveal spikes; longer windows show trends. Adjust in Settings → Test.
HOW TO IMPROVE YOUR CPS
Technique, training methods, and mistakes to avoid
HAND POSITION
Rest your wrist flat on the desk, slightly elevated. Position your thumb naturally over the spacebar — not stretched, not cramped. Avoid hovering your hand in the air as it causes rapid fatigue. Sit upright with your forearm supported on the desk.
SINGLE vs TWO FINGER
Single thumb has a ceiling around 8–10 CPS. Alternating index + middle finger can push past 12 CPS with practice. Some advanced users use two thumbs. Experiment with both — use Rhythm Mode to train your alternate-finger timing evenly.
STAY RELAXED
Tension is the enemy of speed. If your forearm is tight, clicks become slow and inconsistent. Shake your hand loose before testing. The fastest clickers use light, bouncing motions — think flicking, not hammering.
TRAIN WITH RHYTHM MODE
Before chasing max speed, master consistent rhythm. Start at 5 CPS and aim for 90%+ accuracy. Then move to 7, then 9 CPS. Consistent 7 CPS beats erratic 11 CPS in real performance. Rhythm training rewires your muscle memory.
TEST LENGTH STRATEGY
5s tests show peak burst but are heavily affected by warm-up lag. 10s is the best all-round benchmark. 30s and 60s reveal true endurance. If your 5s score dwarfs your 30s score — you have a fatigue problem to fix first.
WARM UP FIRST
Run 2–3 short tests (5s) before chasing a personal best. Your first test is rarely your best — muscles need to warm up. Enable Warmup Round in Settings → Repeat to auto-include an uncounted warm-up set.
TRACK PROGRESS OVER TIME
Use Session History to monitor trends. Export as CSV for spreadsheet tracking. Set a CPS Goal in Settings → Goals for a visual progress bar. Focus on your 10-test rolling average — improvement is gradual, not linear.
COMMON MISTAKES
Don't tense up when slowing — it makes it worse. Don't look at the counter (it breaks your rhythm). Don't test when fatigued. Don't compare 5s scores to 30s scores — always use the same mode and duration for fair benchmarks.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Common questions about results, data, and this tool
WHY IS MY CPS DIFFERENT EACH TEST?
CPS varies due to fatigue, focus level, warm-up state, and time of day. Always run 2–3 warm-up tests first. Variance is completely normal — use your 10-test rolling average for accurate benchmarks.
WHY IS PEAK CPS SO MUCH HIGHER?
Average CPS measures the whole test. Peak captures just your best rolling window. In a 10s test where your average is 7 CPS, you might spike to 11 for a brief burst. The CPS window setting controls how peak is measured.
IS MY DATA PRIVATE?
100% yes. All data — history, settings, personal bests — lives only in your browser's localStorage. Nothing is sent to any server. Export, clear, or import it anytime from Settings → Data. Clearing browser data erases your history.
DOES IT WORK ON MOBILE?
Yes — tap inside the test zone to register clicks. Touchscreen adds ~50ms latency vs physical keyboards. For best mobile results, use 5–10s tests and tap with your dominant index finger in a relaxed rhythm.
HOW DO I KEEP MY HISTORY?
History is auto-saved (toggle in Settings → Data). Stores up to 20 tests by default — increase to 50 or 100 in Settings → Test. Export as CSV or JSON for backup. Private browsing tabs won't persist history between sessions.
WHAT IS A GOOD SCORE?
Casual users: 5–7 CPS is normal. Gamers: 7–10 CPS. Above 10 CPS is genuinely impressive. Above 12 CPS puts you in the top fraction of a percent. Never compare 5s scores to 30s scores — always use the same mode and duration.
