About Reaction Time Test

A reaction time test measures how quickly you respond to a visual cue, in milliseconds. Click to start, wait for the red screen to turn green, then click as fast as you can — clicking too early resets the round. Your average and best times are tracked so you can improve. It runs entirely in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good reaction time?
The average visual reaction time is around 250 milliseconds. Under 200ms is excellent, and most people fall between 200 and 300ms.
Why did it say 'Too soon'?
You clicked while the screen was still red, before the green cue. The round resets so your score reflects a genuine reaction, not a guess.
Can I improve my reaction time?
Yes, with practice reflexes sharpen a little, but they're mostly biological. Being rested, focused, and using a low-latency mouse and monitor all help.
Does my hardware affect the result?
Somewhat. Display refresh rate, input lag, and mouse polling rate add a few milliseconds, so results vary between setups.
