What this measures
Five seconds is the sweet spot between burst and endurance. It is long enough that a lucky half-second cannot carry your score, and short enough that most people have not started to tire, so it usually produces someone’s highest honest number.
Watch the per-second chart afterwards. If your fifth second is already well below your first, your limit is stamina and the answer is a lighter grip. If all five bars are level, your limit is technique and the answer is a different clicking method.
This variant is the most common one used in Minecraft PvP discussions, because five seconds is roughly the length of a real fight.

Questions
What is a good 5 second CPS score?
The median is around 7.6 clicks per second. Above 9 puts you in the top 30%, and above 13 is top 1% territory that usually involves a technique.
Is 5 seconds better than 10 seconds for testing?
It is better for measuring peak speed and worse for measuring what you can sustain in a long fight. Run both: the difference between them is your stamina.
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.
