How to use it: press START TEST, then click inside the box as fast as you can for 30 seconds. Your clicks per second, total clicks and animal rank appear when the timer reaches 30.
The 30 second click test counts how many times you can click a mouse button in 30 seconds, then divides that total by 30 to give your clicks per second (CPS). For example, 210 clicks in 30 seconds is 7.0 CPS and earns the Buffalo rank. Half a minute is long enough that your stamina matters as much as your top speed.
This click speed test 30 seconds in length runs in your browser, with nothing to install and no account. Every click is counted on your own device, so a slow connection cannot cost you clicks once the page has loaded. Your last five 30 second results are saved in this browser only. You may also see it called the 30 second CPS test or the CPS test 30 seconds version; it is the same test.
The clock starts on the button, not on your first click, so have your finger ready before you press START. Clicks outside the box are lost, and over 30 seconds a mouse that creeps across the desk will drift out of the box sooner or later. Keep the pointer near the middle and check its position once or twice during the round.
The formula is CPS = total clicks ÷ 30. The final result always uses the full 30 seconds, even if you stop early, so a round where you give up at 25 seconds is scored as if you clicked nothing for the last five.
Because 30 is a big divisor, each click is worth only about 0.033 CPS. You need 30 extra clicks to raise your score by one whole CPS, which is why a 30 second score moves slowly from round to round. The CPS counter under the box shows two decimals (200 clicks is 6.67), while the result window rounds to one decimal (6.7). Your rank is decided by the two decimal figure.
During the round, the CPS counter divides your clicks by the time that has passed so far, so it tells you your average pace at any moment. A click only counts when the button goes down and comes back up with the pointer inside the box, which is how browsers define a click event. Holding the button down scores nothing until you let go, and clicks after the timer stops are ignored.
Your CPS gives you one of nine animal ranks. The thresholds are the same on every timed click test on Click Tester. The click counts below are worked out from the tool’s own rounding for a 30 second round.
| Rank | CPS range | Clicks in 30 seconds |
|---|---|---|
| Sloth | up to 3.5 | 1 to 105 |
| Turtle | 3.51 to 5.5 | 106 to 165 |
| Panda | 5.51 to 6.6 | 166 to 198 |
| Mouse | 6.61 to 6.9 | 199 to 207 |
| Buffalo | 6.91 to 7.5 | 208 to 225 |
| Rabbit | 7.51 to 8.0 | 226 to 240 |
| Wolf | 8.01 to 8.5 | 241 to 255 |
| Tiger | 8.51 to 9.0 | 256 to 270 |
| Cheetah | over 9.0 | 271 or more |
Three numbers are easy to aim for. 199 clicks is the first score above Panda, 241 clicks is the first Wolf score, and 271 clicks is the first Cheetah score. A round of exactly 270 clicks is 9.00 CPS, which still counts as Tiger, so the top rank needs one click more.
There is no trustworthy average to measure yourself against. We could not find a study or record keeper that publishes an average score for a 30 second clicking test, and the “200 to 300 clicks” figures repeated on CPS sites do not say who was tested or how. Your own first score is the honest starting point, with the rank table as the next target.
Some reference points that are checked:
Our page on CPS world records explains how each record was checked. For scores across techniques and test lengths, read the guide on what counts as a good CPS.
A 30 second round measures clicking endurance. In a 5 or 10 second test you can click near your top speed the whole time. Over half a minute, the forearm muscles that drive each press start to tire, and most people lose some pace in the second half. How much you lose is the real result of this test.
The same speed also gives very different totals on different test lengths. This table shows what a steady 8 CPS looks like on each timed test on Click Tester:
| Test | Length | Clicks at a steady 8 CPS |
|---|---|---|
| 1 second CPS test | 1 s | 8 |
| 5 second click test | 5 s | 40 |
| 10 second click test | 10 s | 80 |
| 15 second click test | 15 s | 120 |
| This 30 second test | 30 s | 240 |
| Clicks per minute test | 60 s | 480 |
| 100 second click test | 100 s | 800 |
Compare a score only with scores from the same test length. A useful habit is to take the 10 second test first, then this one, and work out what share of your short burst speed you keep over 30 seconds. If your 10 second score is 8.0 and your 30 second score is 7.2, you keep 90 percent.
The live Score counter lets you split a round into three 10 second blocks without any extra tools.
An even split, such as 75, 75 and 75, means your pace holds. A split like 85, 70 and 55 shows the hand tiring early, and the usual fix is a slightly slower start and a looser grip, not more effort. Reading the counter may cost you a click or two, so use this round to learn rather than to set a best score.
Pick a target from the rank table and turn it into a pace for each 10 seconds. The CPS counter shows your average so far, so you can see whether you are on plan while you click.
| Target rank | Total clicks | Clicks per 10 seconds | CPS to hold |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mouse | 199 | 67 | 6.63 |
| Buffalo | 208 | 70 | 6.93 |
| Rabbit | 226 | 76 | 7.53 |
| Wolf | 241 | 81 | 8.03 |
| Cheetah | 271 | 91 | 9.03 |
If the CPS counter reads well above your target after the first five seconds, you are probably going too hard and will fade later. If it reads below target at 20 seconds, the last 10 seconds are your chance to spend what you have left.
Steady technique beats a fast start over this length. Change one thing at a time and run the test again to see whether it helped.
Jitter and butterfly clicking can raise a score once practised, but they behave differently over 30 seconds. Jitter clicking uses a tensed arm, which is hard to hold for this long, while butterfly clicking shares the work between two fingers. Each technique has its own test:
| Technique | How the clicks happen | Where to practise |
|---|---|---|
| Normal clicking | One finger presses each time | This page |
| Jitter clicking | A tensed arm makes one finger vibrate | Jitter click test |
| Butterfly clicking | Two fingers tap one button in turn | Butterfly click test |
| Drag clicking | Friction makes the button bounce | Drag click test |
The guide to jitter vs butterfly vs drag clicking compares the three in more depth. If your goal is faster clicking in Minecraft fights rather than a test score, read how to click faster for PvP. Clicking hard for long periods can strain your hand and wrist, so stop if you feel pain.
The test is built for a mouse, but other inputs work. Your score will not match your mouse score, so only compare results from the same device.
If a score suddenly jumps or drops, check the mouse before you blame your hand. A worn switch can turn one press into two clicks, which raises your score, or miss presses, which lowers it. The double click test shows whether single presses register twice, and the mouse test checks that every button responds.
This test keeps its own history slot in your browser, so your saved 30 second scores do not mix with results from other test lengths. Clearing site data, using a private window or switching browser starts a fresh history.
On this test, 199 clicks in 30 seconds moves you above Panda, 241 clicks reaches Wolf and 271 clicks or more is Cheetah, the highest rank. There is no published average for 30 seconds, so take the test once and use your own score as the baseline.
The fastest recorded 30 second score we could find is 830 clicks (27.67 CPS) on RecordSetter, from 2010, with the number of buttons not stated. On a normal one button test, holding more than 9 CPS for the whole 30 seconds earns the Cheetah rank here.
Your total clicks are divided by 30. For example, 180 clicks gives 6.0 CPS, which is the Panda rank. The result window rounds to one decimal, while the rank uses the two decimal figure on the CPS counter.
200 clicks in 30 seconds is 6.67 CPS and earns the Mouse rank, one step above Panda. Eight more clicks, 208 in total, would move you up to Buffalo.
Your hand and forearm tire, and 30 seconds gives fatigue three times as long to pull your average down. A 10 second test mostly measures burst speed, while this one also measures how long you can hold it.
No. The 30 second timer starts when you press START TEST, and that press is not counted. Keep your finger ready over the box so you do not waste the first second.
Yes. Press START TEST, then press Enter or Space separately for each click. Holding a key down counts only once, so the test cannot be scored by holding a key.
Your last five 30 second results are stored in this browser using local storage, and nothing is sent to an account. Other people on other devices cannot see them.
When the timer runs out, the test divides your total clicks by the length of the test to give your clicks per second (CPS), then awards one of nine animal ranks:
| Rank | CPS |
|---|---|
| Sloth | 0 – 3.5 |
| Turtle | 3.6 – 5.5 |
| Panda | 5.6 – 6.6 |
| Mouse | 6.7 – 6.9 |
| Buffalo | 7.0 – 7.5 |
| Rabbit | 7.6 – 8.0 |
| Wolf | 8.1 – 8.5 |
| Tiger | 8.6 – 9.0 |
| Cheetah | 9.1+ |
The timer starts when you press Start, and only clicks inside the click area count. You can also take the test with a keyboard: press Enter or Space on the click area. Your last five results are saved in your own browser, not on our servers.
