What this measures
CPS means clicks per second: how many times you can press a mouse button in a fixed window. The measurement matters in games where clicking speed maps directly onto damage or blocks placed — Minecraft PvP above all, which is where the whole category came from.
The timer starts on your first click, not on a separate start button. That sounds like a detail and is not: sites that make you press Start and then begin counting quietly charge you the fraction of a second it takes to move back to the click area, and their numbers cannot be compared with anyone else’s.
After the test you get a bar per second. That chart is the interesting part — almost everyone starts fast and fades, and seeing exactly which second you fell off tells you whether you are limited by technique or by stamina. Sustained clicking is a different skill from a one-second burst, which is why the percentile bands shift with duration.
Scores above roughly 14 CPS almost always mean a technique rather than raw finger speed. Jitter clicking tenses the forearm to produce a tremor and is commonly reported at 10 to 14 CPS. Butterfly clicking alternates two fingers on one button and reaches 15 to 25. Drag clicking runs a finger across the button so friction produces a burst of contacts, and registers far higher. None of those ranges come from a formal study — they are what the community consistently reports.

Questions
What is a good CPS score?
The median 10-second score is about 6.9 clicks per second. Above 8 CPS puts you in the top 30%, above 9 in the top 15%, and above 11 in the top 5%. Sustained scores above 14 CPS usually involve jitter or butterfly clicking rather than normal clicking.
How do I click faster?
For normal clicking, rest your wrist and use only the finger, keep contact light so the switch actuates without bottoming out, and use a mouse with a low actuation force. Beyond about 8 CPS, further gains come from technique — jitter or butterfly clicking — rather than from practice.
Is 10 CPS good for Minecraft?
It is well above average, and it matters less than people think. Since Java Edition 1.9 a sword has an attack speed of 1.6 per second and damage scales with the cooldown, so clicking faster than that actively reduces your damage. Clicking speed only decides fights in 1.8-style combat, which is what most PvP servers still run.
Do you detect auto clickers?
Yes, for the shared statistics. A script produces gaps between clicks that are nearly identical to each other, and human hands never are. Flagged runs still show you your own score, but they do not enter the public distribution.
Which duration should I use?
Ten seconds is the standard and the one worth comparing. One and five second tests measure your burst speed, while thirty and sixty second tests measure stamina, and scores drop noticeably as the window gets longer.
