Typing Progress Tracker: chart your WPM over time, free
A record of your typing results over time, kept in your browser. Results from the tests on this site are saved here with one click, and you can add results from anywhere else by hand. It shows your latest and best speed, your average, how many sessions you have logged and whether your recent runs are actually faster than your older ones. Free, no account, and you can delete any of it at any time.
Your saved typing results are read from this browser when the page loads. Results from the tests in this suite arrive here with one click, and you can add results from anywhere else by hand.
Where to go from here
Reading the trend rather than the last run
A single typing result carries a lot of noise. Speed genuinely swings by five to ten WPM between runs depending on the passage, your posture and how warmed up you are, which means the difference between today and yesterday is usually telling you nothing at all.
The trend figure here deliberately does not compare your first result with your last. It compares the average of your older half against the average of your newer half, which is far harder for one fluke run to distort in either direction. It stays hidden until you have six results, because below that the comparison would be two runs against two runs.
What a realistic improvement curve looks like
Beginners improve fastest and most visibly: going from 20 to 35 WPM can happen in a few weeks of daily practice, because most of the gain is simply learning where the keys are. From 40 to 60 is slower, usually a few months, and the gains come from consistency rather than hand speed. Past 70 the curve flattens hard, and progress arrives in one or two WPM increments over months.
Plateaus are normal and are not a sign that practice has stopped working. The usual cause of a long one is that speed practice has been substituted for accuracy work, and the ceiling being hit is the error rate rather than the hands. Checking your accuracy trend against your speed trend on this page will usually show it.
Keeping a record that is worth keeping
Use one test duration. A sixty-second result and a fifteen-second result are not the same measurement, and mixing them produces a chart that mostly records which button you pressed.
Log the middling run, not the best one. A personal-best chart only ever records your luckiest days and will convince you that you have stopped improving the moment you have an unlucky month.
And record accuracy alongside speed, which this tracker does automatically. Speed rising while accuracy falls is not progress; it is a trade, and usually a bad one.
Your data, and its limits
Everything on this page lives in your browser's local storage on this device. Nothing is uploaded. That means clearing site data clears it, a private window will not see it, and a result from your laptop will not appear on your phone.
A free KeyTopia account removes those limits by syncing history across devices, and it also keeps far more than this page does: per-key mastery across every session, rhythm analysis, records and a practice calendar. But nothing on this page requires it.
Questions people ask
Where are my typing results stored?
In your browser's local storage, on the device you typed on. They are never uploaded. Only summaries are kept: date, speed, accuracy, duration and mistake count. The text you typed is never stored.
How often should I test my typing speed?
Once or twice a week is plenty. Testing daily mostly measures the noise between runs, and it tempts you into practising tests instead of practising typing.
How fast should I expect to improve?
From a beginner start, 10 to 15 WPM in the first month of daily practice is common. From 40 upwards, a few WPM a month is a good rate. Above 70, progress is measured in single WPM over months.
Can I add results from another typing site?
Yes. There is a form for entering a date, speed, accuracy and duration by hand, so a history from elsewhere can live alongside your results from this site.
How do I delete my typing history?
Every row has a delete button, and there is a button to clear everything at once. Both take effect immediately, and since nothing was ever uploaded there is no second copy anywhere to ask about.
