Q: Is this typing speed test completely free?

Yes — completely free, no account required, no time limit on tests. Just open the page and start typing.

Q: How do I improve my typing speed after the test?

Focus on the weak keys shown in your heatmap report. Use Keytune's structured 30-lesson curriculum to build muscle memory, prioritise accuracy over speed initially, and practise consistently for 10–15 minutes daily.

Q: What is the difference between WPM and raw WPM?

Net WPM subtracts errors from your speed — it measures how fast you type correctly. Raw WPM counts every keystroke including mistakes. A large gap between the two indicates accuracy issues.

Question 1

How is WPM calculated in this typing test?

Accepted Answer

WPM (Words Per Minute) is calculated by dividing the number of correctly typed characters by 5 (the standard word length), then dividing by elapsed time in minutes. This is the "net WPM" standard used across all major typing tests.

Question 2

What is a good typing speed?

Accepted Answer

The average typist achieves 40–60 WPM. Professional typists and data-entry specialists typically reach 70–100 WPM. Touch typists often exceed 80 WPM, while competitive typists reach 120–200 WPM.

Question 3

What does the keystroke heatmap show?

Accepted Answer

The heatmap colours each key by your accuracy when that key was expected. Teal keys (≥95% accuracy) are your strongest; amber keys (80–94%) are fair; rose/red keys (<80%) are your weakest and should be practised.
