Typing Test FAQ
How is WPM calculated here?▾
We count correct characters onlydivide by 5then divide by active time
(pauses excluded). Mistyped characters don’t inflate WPM.
How is accuracy measured? Does backspace matter?▾
Accuracy is correct ÷ total typed. Errors lower accuracy until corrected. Using
backspace to fix a mistake improves the final accuracybut the error is still tracked in your
heat map.
What are the “Consistency” and “KPS” stats?▾
KPS is keypresses per second—your pacing. Consistency rewards
steady rhythm across the test (fewer spikes/drops). Aim for smooth KPS to raise consistency.
How does the error heat map work?▾
Each key’s error rate is tallied as you type. Bracketsquotesslashesand numbers are tracked
too. Darker cells = more errors—use them to pick targets for practice.
Can I pause the test?▾
Yes. Use Ctrl+P. We also auto-pause when the tab isn’t visible.
Paused time is excluded from scoring.
Why do I see a Caps Lock warning?▾
A small badge appears when Caps Lock is on to prevent accidental ALL-CAPS errors that hurt
accuracy.
How do I use Custom text? Why can’t I paste into the typing box?▾
Add your content in Custom mode (up to ~5000 characters). Pasting is disabled
in the live typing field to keep scores fair—type it indon’t paste through it.
What’s the difference between CommonQuotesCodeand Numbers?▾

Code focuses on bracesbracketssymbolsand Numbers
emphasizes digits and separators.
Do I need an account? Where is my data stored?▾
No account required. The test runs in your browser and keeps things lightweight and private.
Does it work on phones?▾

activity view) are simplified on mobile for clarity.
