Typing Speed Test in JavaScript – Free Online WPM & Accuracy Checker with Open-Source Code

1. What the Project Does

This single-page web app, built with vanilla JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, measures how fast and accurately you type. It displays a random passage, tracks every keystroke in real time, and instantly calculates:

  • Words per minute (WPM)

  • Characters per minute (CPM)

  • Accuracy% (correct vs. total keystrokes)

  • Time elapsed

When the timer ends or the passage is finished, detailed results and personal-best stats are shown, with an option to restart or copy your score.
