Is 3 CPS a good click speed?

A 3 CPS click speed falls into the Below Average band โ€” slower than the majority of test-takers. Do not over-read a single score: fatigue, distraction, and a cold start can each shift this kind of result by a wide margin. 3 CPS is the conventional Below Average anchor for click speed. Against the standard benchmarks, your 3 CPS score is 7 CPS past the Elite cutoff (10 CPS), 4 CPS past the Fast cutoff (7 CPS), and 2 CPS past the Average cutoff (5 CPS). The nearest indexed bucket is 5 CPS (Average). Take the Click Speed Test (CPS) to see how your live performance compares.
