Frequently asked questions

What is a reaction time test?

A reaction time test measures how many milliseconds pass between a visual signal and your click, tap, or key press.

What is a good reaction time?

Many casual visual reaction tests land around 200 to 300 milliseconds, but results vary by device, display, input method, sleep, and focus.

Why does the test use five rounds?

Five rounds reduce the impact of one lucky or distracted attempt and produce a more useful average, best time, and consistency range.

Why did I get a false start?

A false start means you pressed before the panel turned green. The attempt is discarded so anticipation does not lower your measured time.

Is this reaction time test free?

Yes. The test is free, runs entirely in your browser, and requires no account, installation, or data upload.
