About TypeTest

TypeTest is a free, open-source typing speed test designed to help anyone measure and improve their typing speed. Practice with general text, code snippets, gaming terminology, or your own custom passages — no account required.

What Makes TypeTest Different

Most typing tests use generic prose. TypeTest includes specialized modes for the people who type the most: developers who need to practice code syntax, and gamers who need to type fast under pressure. Each mode uses real-world content, not artificial filler text.

Features

• Multiple Categories: General words, code snippets, gaming terms, and famous quotes
• 5 Test Modes: Normal, Quote, Daily Challenge, Custom Text, and Race mode
• Live Metrics: Real-time WPM, accuracy, errors, and time tracking
• WPM Graph: Visual performance chart during and after tests
• Keyboard Heatmap: Identify your most mistyped keys
• History: Track your progress over time with local storage
• Sound Effects: Optional mechanical keyboard sounds for feedback

Technology

Built with modern web technologies for maximum performance:

• Astro: Static-first framework for fast page loads
• Svelte: Reactive UI components with minimal runtime overhead
• Tailwind CSS: Utility-first styling for consistent design

Open Source

TypeTest is free and open source. No ads, no tracking, no paywalls. Your typing history stays in your browser's local storage — it never leaves your device.
