CPS Test — Clicks Per Second
Click the box as fast as you can for the full duration. Your score is clicks divided by seconds, timed precisely in the browser.
What this actually tests
This measures raw click throughput over a fixed window — how many "click" events your browser receives divided by the seconds elapsed. It's a decent proxy for mouse responsiveness and clicking technique (jitter-clicking vs. butterfly-clicking vs. normal), but it can't distinguish a fast human from software that automates clicks — a suspiciously high, perfectly even score is usually the tell.
Getting a more accurate score
- Use your normal grip and clicking technique — jitter-clicking will score much higher than a standard click.
- Run it 3-4 times; the first attempt is often lower while you find your rhythm.
- A wired mouse and a browser without heavy background tabs open will read slightly more accurately than a laggy setup.
FAQ
What's a good CPS score?
4-6 clicks per second with a normal grip is average, 6-9 is fast, and anything past 9-10 with a standard click technique is unusually quick. Scores above roughly 12-14 CPS almost always involve jitter-clicking, butterfly-clicking, or an auto-clicker rather than a single finger moving normally.
Why is my score lower on a laptop trackpad than a mouse?
A trackpad tap has to travel further per click and often includes built-in debounce delay to avoid registering accidental taps, both of which cap how fast repeated clicks can register compared to a mouse's short, mechanical switch travel.
Can this test tell a human from an auto-clicker?
Not with certainty, but a strong signal is timing consistency — a real hand's click intervals vary a little from click to click, while software-driven clicks land at near-identical intervals every time. A perfectly even, very high score is the classic tell, even though the test itself only reports the raw count.
