About this test

The 30 second typing test is the sweet spot between a quick warm-up and a serious measurement. Half a minute is long enough to smooth out random bursts yet short enough to repeat several times in a row, which makes it ideal for spotting improvement across attempts. Watch your live WPM and accuracy as you type, but don't chase the number — steady, correct keystrokes will beat a frantic sprint that leaves a trail of red. Thirty seconds also happens to be a friendly length for mobile users and for anyone squeezing practice into a short break. For a widely comparable benchmark, follow it up with the classic 1 minute test.

How to use it

  1. Click the typing area (or just start typing) to focus it.
  2. The timer starts the moment you press your first key.
  3. Type the text exactly as shown; correct characters turn green, mistakes turn red.
  4. Use Backspace to fix mistakes, or keep going — your choice.
  5. When the test ends, review your WPM, accuracy, and consistency.

Frequently asked questions

How is WPM calculated?

One word is defined as five characters. Gross WPM = characters typed ÷ 5 ÷ minutes; Net WPM uses only correctly typed characters. See our methodology page for details.

Is 30 seconds long enough for an accurate score?

It's great for a warm-up, but shorter tests are less reliable. For a stable benchmark, use the 1 minute test or longer.

Does accuracy affect my WPM?

Your headline WPM is the Net WPM, which counts only correctly typed characters, so mistakes lower it. Raw WPM ignores accuracy.

Is my typing sent anywhere?

No. Your keystrokes and results are processed entirely in your browser and are never uploaded to our servers.
