How many clicks per second can you do?

Click the box as fast as you can. The timer starts with your first click, and at the end you see your clicks per second (CPS): your clicks divided by the seconds of the test. Pick 1, 5, 10, 30 or 60 seconds. Your best score for each length stays in this browser.

How to do the CPS test

  1. Pick the length of the test: 1, 5, 10, 30 or 60 seconds.
  2. Click the box. Your first click starts the timer and counts.
  3. Keep clicking as fast as you can until the time runs out.
  4. Read your clicks per second. Press Copy link or Share to race a friend.

A short test shows your top speed, and a long one shows how long you can keep it up. Your best score for each length stays in this browser.

How the test keeps it fair

The browser times each click to the millisecond with its own event clock, so a slow screen never adds or loses a click. A click counts when the button goes down, not when it comes up.

Clicks less than 20 ms apart do not count. That is 50 clicks a second: no finger is that fast, but an autoclicker, a macro or a worn mouse button that bounces is. When many clicks come that fast, the page shows the score and does not save it.

Tips to click faster

  • Rest your hand on the mouse and click with the tip of your finger, from the knuckle.
  • Keep the mouse still: a mouse that slides makes you miss the box.
  • On a phone, tap with two fingers in turn.
  • Stop when your hand gets tired or sore.

Test the spacebar too with the spacebar clicker, or your reflexes with the reaction time test.

Questions

How is CPS counted?

CPS is your clicks divided by the length of the test in seconds: 37 clicks in 5 seconds is 7.4 CPS. The clock starts with your first click, which counts, and the browser times every click to the millisecond.

Why did some clicks not count?

A click less than 20 milliseconds after the last one does not count. That is 50 clicks a second, faster than any finger, but not faster than an autoclicker, a macro or a worn mouse button that bounces. When many clicks come that fast, the page shows the score but does not save it as your best.

What is a good CPS score?

There is no official scale, and this page keeps no record of other people's scores, so it can't rank you. The fair test is a friend on the same mouse and the same length of test: send them your link.

What are jitter clicking and butterfly clicking?

Jitter clicking tenses the arm so that the finger shakes on the button. Butterfly clicking taps one button with two fingers in turn. Both are faster than normal clicking. Take breaks: fast clicking for a long time can make your hand and arm sore.

Can I do the CPS test on a phone?

Yes. Tap the box with one finger or two. Each tap counts as a click.

Is the CPS test unblocked? Does it work on a school Chromebook?

It is a normal web page on lifesim.com with nothing to download, so it runs in Chrome on a Chromebook. Some school filters block every game site, so we can't promise that yours allows it. Once the page is open, the test needs no network.
