A typing speed test worth bookmarking

Most typing speed tests have too much going on. Splash screens, sign-up prompts, countdown timers before you're allowed to start. By the time you're typing, you've forgotten why you opened the tab.

TypeSpeedTest.com cuts straight to it. You go to the site and you start typing. WPM and accuracy at the end, no account required.

A few details that earn it the bookmark:

• No login, no tracking cookies. It runs entirely in your browser. Your history lives in localStorage, not on someone's server.
• Pick your duration. 15, 30, 60, or 120 seconds. The 60-second test is the standard one most people quote when they say "I type X WPM."
• Pick your mode. Plain words, numbers, or punctuation. The numbers and punctuation modes are useful if you're benchmarking real-world coding or data entry, not just prose.
• WPM, accuracy, CPM, and consistency. Most tests give you a single number. This one shows how steady you were across the run, which is a better picture of where you actually are.

Run it a few times across different sessions — a single result can be skewed by a good run or a bad one. Three or four tests gives you a number worth knowing. Most adults land around 40 WPM; 60+ is faster than average, and 80+ is genuinely quick.

If you've never taken a typing speed test, it's worth the two minutes. If you have, this is still the cleanest one I've found.
