All guidesFrequently asked questions
Why is my score so much lower than on words?
Symbols need the Shift key and sit in awkward positions, and code has no predictable rhythm the way English does. Losing 30 to 50% against your prose speed is completely normal.
Does the Code Typing Test cost anything?
There is no cost and no cap. The Code Typing Test is not a demo of a paid product, so nothing is held back or watermarked.
Does anything I enter leave my computer?
No. The Code Typing Test runs entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your input never reaches inputtesthub.com or any third party — open your browser's Network tab while you use it and you will see no request go out.
When would I actually need the Code Typing Test?
Typical uses: finding out how much symbols slow you down. Comparing keyboard layouts for programming. It is built for exactly those cases rather than being a general-purpose tool with this bolted on.
Why does the test start on its own?
No installation, no extension and no driver. The Code Typing Test uses the browser's own device APIs and begins as soon as the page loads, so there is nothing to press first. Press Reset at any point to start over with a clean slate.
