A quick 15-second typing test for a fast pulse-check on your speed. It is the shortest test here — perfect for warming up your fingers or squeezing in an attempt between tasks. Just start typing to begin.
Best for warming up
Fifteen seconds is barely long enough to settle into a rhythm, which makes it ideal as a warm-up rather than a definitive measurement. Fire off two or three before a longer test or a big writing session to get your fingers moving and your focus in gear.
Go for your best of several
Because a short test is easy to spike — or to fumble on a single word — the fairest way to read a 15-second result is to take a handful and keep your best. It is a fun way to chase a personal record without committing much time. For a score you can rely on, step up to the 30-second or one-minute test.
