How to test your auto clicker
Set it up
Pick a test length and type the speed your auto clicker is set to, in milliseconds or clicks per second.
Point and start
Place the pointer over the test box and start your auto clicker. The timer starts with the first click. Press Esc to stop early.
Compare
See the real clicks per second, how close it came to its setting, how even the timing is, and whether it paused.
Make sure the auto clicker clicks at the pointer position, and that it stops before you move the mouse away. Use the hotkey your clicker app provides to start and stop it.
Why an auto clicker is slower than its setting
Most auto clickers let you type any interval, but the computer cannot always keep up. Common reasons:
- Timer resolution. Windows timers often tick every 1 to 16 ms, so a setting of 1 ms may actually run at 1 click every few milliseconds.
- The app adds work. Each click is a mouse-down and a mouse-up. Some apps wait between the two, which adds to every interval.
- System load. Background apps, power saving and browser throttling all add uneven delays, which show up here as jitter.
- Random delay settings. Some clickers add random variation on purpose to look human. That is jitter by design.
This test shows the spread of every gap between clicks, so you can tell a clicker that is slow but steady from one that stutters.
Reading your result
Fast and steady
Within 5% of its setting with even timing. This clicker does what it says.
Works, but not exactly as set
Slower than set, uneven or with short pauses. Try a slightly longer interval, or close other apps.
Much slower than set
Less than 80% of the set speed. The setting is beyond what this app or computer can deliver.
Jitter is the standard deviation of the gaps between clicks. A good clicker stays within 1 or 2 ms. Human clicking is far less even: a typical person varies by 15 ms or more, which is how our CPS test tells an auto clicker from a person.
Is using an auto clicker allowed?
That depends entirely on where you use it. Auto clickers are fine for automating repetitive work, testing software, and in idle games that allow them. Many online games and servers ban them and can detect them from the very regular timing this page shows. Check the rules first. On our own speed tests, results that look automated are marked and are not saved as personal bests.
Accessibility tools that click for people who cannot use a mouse easily work the same way, and this test is a quick way to set them up at a comfortable speed.
