Small typing tips compound into big speed. Below are the habits that actually move the needle: how to sit, where to put your fingers, and how to train accuracy so speed follows. Read one tip, then test it on the timed practice right here. Free, no sign up.
The best typing tips are the boring ones, because typing is pure muscle memory. Anything you repeat daily becomes automatic, and anything you shortcut becomes a habit you later have to unlearn. Pick two or three tips below and apply them for a week rather than reading all of them once. Small adjustments to hand position and attention add up faster than any speed-typing trick.
Sit with your feet flat, your forearms roughly level, and the top of your screen at eye height so your neck stays relaxed. Curve your fingers slightly and rest them on the home row: left hand on A S D F, right hand on J K L ;, thumbs on the space bar. Feel the small bumps on F and J; they let your index fingers find home without looking. Keep your wrists floating rather than pressed hard onto the desk.
Look at the text, never your hands. Press every key with the finger that owns it on the home row rather than the nearest finger, even when it feels slower at first. Type to the end of a word before you fix an error, instead of stopping mid-word. And slow down to the speed at which you make almost no mistakes; that is the speed your fingers actually learn, and it rises on its own.
Keep your fingers on the home row and look only at the screen. Once your hands learn where the keys are, speed becomes a matter of practice instead of searching.
Cover your hands with a cloth or dim the room light for a few minutes a day, and use the on-screen keyboard to check positions. The bumps on F and J give your index fingers a landmark, so trust them and keep your eyes on the text.
Each key has a home-row finger that owns it. Index fingers cover the middle columns and stretch outward, middle and ring fingers take their own columns, and the pinkies handle the outer edges plus the shift and enter keys. Practice slowly at first so each key keeps its fixed finger.
Slow down until you make almost no errors, finish each word before correcting, and practice the number and punctuation sets, which cause most mistakes. Accuracy is a habit, not a limit, and it is what ultimately raises your speed.
Feet flat, back supported, shoulders relaxed, forearms roughly parallel to the floor, and the screen top at eye height. Your wrists should float over the keyboard rather than resting heavily on the desk, which keeps your fingers quick and pain-free.
