How to take the CPS test

- Click the box to start. Your first click starts the timer and counts as click one.
- Click as fast as you can. Use the mouse, tap with a finger or press the space bar. The counter and your live CPS update as you go.
- Stop when time is up. Extra clicks after the timer ends are not counted. Your CPS is total clicks divided by the seconds.
- Compare and challenge. See your animal rank and the chart of every second, then send the link to a friend to see who is faster.

What is a good CPS?
Most people average about 6 clicks per second over 10 seconds with an ordinary click. Around 8 is fast, and scores of 10 or more usually come from a special clicking technique (see below). Short tests give higher scores than long ones, because nobody can keep a burst going for a minute. The ranks below are for the standard 10 second test; the ranks on your result are adjusted for the length you chose.
| 10 second CPS | Rank | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| 10 and over | 🦅 Falcon | Exceptional. Usually needs jitter or butterfly clicking. |
| 8 to 9.9 | 🐆 Cheetah | Very fast. Quicker than almost everyone with a normal click. |
| 6.5 to 7.9 | 🐈 Cat | Fast. Better than most people. |
| 5 to 6.4 | 🦊 Fox | Average. Where most people land. |
| 3.5 to 4.9 | 🐼 Panda | Steady. Often a slow start, a trackpad or a phone. |
| Under 3.5 | 🐢 Tortoise | Relaxed. Warm up and try again. |
How is CPS calculated?
CPS is your total clicks divided by the number of seconds. 60 clicks in 10 seconds is 6 CPS, and 45 clicks in 5 seconds is 9 CPS. This test counts every click inside the box from your first click until the timer ends.
Click techniques
These are the main ways people click fast. They are described here so you know what is behind the very high scores you see online, not because any one is the best choice for you.
Normal clicking
One finger, one click at a time. Most people reach 5 to 8 CPS, and it is the fairest way to compare with friends.
Jitter clicking
Tensing your arm and hand so your finger vibrates against the button. It can reach 9 to 14 CPS but it is tiring and can strain your hand, so take breaks and stop if it hurts.
Butterfly clicking
Alternating two fingers on the same mouse button. It can double your speed, but some mice and games count the extra clicks differently.
Drag clicking
Dragging a finger across the button so it registers many clicks quickly. It needs the right mouse and surface and gives scores far above normal clicking, so it is not a fair comparison.
Does the device matter?
Yes. A gaming mouse, an office mouse, a laptop trackpad and a phone screen all register clicks differently, and some limit how fast clicks can be counted. Compare your results on the same device, and with friends on similar ones.
Can I improve my CPS?
A little. Warm up with a couple of short tests, rest your forearm on the desk, keep your wrist relaxed and click with the tip of your finger. Most people gain a click or two per second over a few goes, then level off. Rest your hand between attempts and avoid pushing through any pain.
