CPS Test
Measure your clicks per second with a fast browser-based CPS test. Choose a 1, 5, 10, 30 or 60 second mode, click as quickly as you can and compare average CPS, peak CPS and click consistency.

Test Your Clicks Per Second
Choose a duration, press Start Test and click inside the large test area as quickly as you comfortably can until the timer reaches zero.
- Current CPS
- A live estimate based on clicks during the most recent one-second window.
- Average CPS
- Total registered clicks divided by the elapsed test time.
- Peak 1-second CPS
- The highest click count recorded inside any rolling one-second window.
- Total clicks
- The number of click events registered inside the test area.
- Fastest interval
- The shortest measured time between consecutive clicks.
- Average interval
- The mean time between consecutive registered clicks.
- Consistency
- An estimate of how evenly spaced your click intervals are.
How to Use the CPS Test
- Choose a 1, 5, 10, 30 or 60 second test.
- Press Start Test.
- Place the pointer inside the large click area.
- Click as quickly as you comfortably can.
- Keep clicking until the timer reaches zero.
- Review your average CPS, peak CPS, intervals and consistency.
What Does CPS Mean?
CPS means clicks per second. It is calculated by dividing the number of registered clicks by the amount of test time.
For example, 40 clicks during a 5 second test is an average of 8 CPS.
What the CPS Test Measures
Average CPS
Your total registered clicks divided by the elapsed test time.
Current CPS
A live estimate based on clicks recorded during the most recent one-second window.
Peak 1-second CPS
The highest number of clicks recorded inside any rolling one-second window during the test.
Total clicks
The complete number of click events received inside the test area.
Click interval
The measured time in milliseconds between consecutive clicks.
Consistency
An estimate of how evenly spaced your click intervals are over the test.
Which CPS Test Duration Should You Use?
1 Second CPS Test
A very short burst test for maximum immediate clicking speed.
5 Second CPS Test
A balanced quick test and a useful default for comparing repeated attempts.
10 Second CPS Test
Long enough to show whether your click speed remains stable beyond the opening burst.
30 Second CPS Test
A sustained clicking challenge that emphasises rhythm and endurance.
60 Second CPS Test
A full one-minute test for sustained CPS rather than short-term peak speed.
How Clicks Per Second Are Calculated
CPS = Total Clicks ÷ Test Duration in Seconds
Example: 52 clicks ÷ 5 seconds = 10.4 CPS.
| Total clicks | Test duration | Average CPS |
|---|---|---|
| 30 clicks | 5 seconds | 6 CPS |
| 40 clicks | 5 seconds | 8 CPS |
| 50 clicks | 5 seconds | 10 CPS |
| 80 clicks | 10 seconds | 8 CPS |
| 100 clicks | 10 seconds | 10 CPS |
How to Get a Consistent CPS Result
- Use the same mouse and same test duration when comparing scores.
- Keep the pointer inside the click area throughout the session.
- Use a stable desk or mouse surface.
- Close heavy background tasks if the browser feels unresponsive.
- Run several attempts and compare the average.
- Stop if your hand or fingers become uncomfortable.
Why CPS Scores Can Change
Clicking technique, fatigue, mouse switch feel, browser performance, hand position and test length can all change your score.
A 1 second result can be much higher than a 30 or 60 second result because it measures a short burst rather than sustained clicking speed.
What Your CPS Score Means
Average CPS is the most useful number for comparing complete attempts. Peak CPS shows your fastest one-second burst, while consistency indicates how stable your clicking rhythm was.
A higher CPS score is not automatically better for every task. Accuracy, comfort and control are often more important than maximum raw clicking speed.
CPS Test Not Counting Correctly?
- Keep the pointer inside the area. Only clicks made inside the CPS test button are counted.
- Check the mouse button. Use Mouse Test if you suspect missed clicks.
- Close heavy browser tabs. Background load can make browser interaction less responsive.
- Compare another browser or device. This can help separate a browser issue from a mouse problem.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a CPS test?
A CPS test measures how many mouse clicks you can make per second during a timed clicking session.
What does CPS stand for?
CPS stands for clicks per second.
How is CPS calculated?
Average CPS is calculated by dividing the number of registered clicks by the elapsed test duration in seconds.
Is this CPS test free?
Yes. The CPS test is free, runs in your browser and requires no account, download or device permission.
Which CPS test duration should I use?
The 5 second test is a useful default. One second measures burst speed, while 10, 30 and 60 second modes measure increasingly sustained clicking.
Why is my 1 second CPS higher than my 10 second CPS?
A one-second test measures a short burst. Longer tests introduce fatigue and require a more sustainable clicking rhythm.
What is peak CPS?
Peak CPS is the highest click rate the tool records inside any rolling one-second window during your test.
What is current CPS?
Current CPS is a live estimate based on clicks recorded during the most recent one-second window.
What is a click interval?
Click interval is the amount of time between consecutive registered clicks, measured in milliseconds.
What does click consistency mean?
Consistency estimates how evenly spaced your click intervals are. More uniform intervals indicate a steadier clicking rhythm.
Can I use a trackpad for the CPS test?
Yes. Compatible trackpad taps or clicks can be counted, although a mouse may feel easier for repeated rapid clicking.
Can I use a wireless mouse?
Yes. Any compatible mouse that sends normal click events to the browser can be used.
Does double clicking increase CPS?
CPS counts individual click events. Intentional rapid clicking can raise the score, but unwanted hardware double clicks can also distort the result.
Why are some clicks not counted?
Clicks outside the test area are ignored. Browser load, a faulty mouse switch or unusual input software can also affect click registration.
Does the CPS test save my score?
The tool keeps personal-best results only in the current page session. It does not upload or permanently store your scores.
Can clicking too fast damage my mouse?
Normal clicking is what mouse switches are designed for, but repeated forceful clicking can add unnecessary wear. Use a comfortable technique rather than excessive force.
Can a CPS test diagnose a faulty mouse?
A CPS test can reveal missed or unexpected clicks, but the full Mouse Test and Double Click Test are better suited to diagnosing button problems.
What other mouse tests should I try?
Use Mouse Test for button and scroll checks, Double Click Test for unwanted double clicks and Mouse Polling Rate Test for pointer update frequency.
