This is a free online typing speed test. It measures how many words per minute (WPM) you can type and how accurate you are. The test works on any device with a keyboard — desktop, laptop, tablet or phone. There is nothing to install and no account needed.
Take a short test every day. Start with a 1 minute typing test, then try 2 or 5 minutes as you get faster. Focus on accuracy first — speed follows accuracy. Keep your fingers on the home row and look at the screen, not the keyboard. Switch to quotes or numbers mode to practice punctuation and digits, which are the most common slowdowns.
An average typing speed is about 40 WPM. Typing at 60 WPM is faster than most people and good for most office work. Above 80 WPM is fast, and professional typists and developers often reach 90–120 WPM. Children usually start around 20–30 WPM and improve quickly with a few minutes of daily practice.
A typing test measures how fast and accurately you type. You type a passage of text while the test counts your words per minute (WPM), accuracy and errors.
WPM = (correct characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutes elapsed. The industry standard treats every 5 characters as one word, so longer words count more. Raw WPM ignores errors, while net WPM subtracts them.
1 minute is the most popular length and is enough for a quick check. Longer tests (3, 5 or 10 minutes) give a more stable result because they average out short bursts of speed and fatigue.
Yes, completely free with no sign up, no account and no ads inside the typing area. Your past results are stored only in your own browser (localStorage), never on a server.
Practice daily for 10–15 minutes, prioritise accuracy over speed, keep your wrists relaxed and your fingers anchored on the home row (ASDF JKL;). Learn to use all ten fingers rather than hunting and pecking with two.
