Auto Clicker Test

How to Test an Auto Clicker

An auto clicker test shows how fast your auto clicker clicks, which isn’t always what its settings say. The steps below use IO Auto Clicker. Other auto clickers work the same way.

1. Set up the auto clicker

   Choose Left click and Single click, enter a click interval, and pick Repeat Until Stopped. Keep the cursor position on Current Location.

2. Pick a test length

   10 seconds is a good default. Use 30 or 60 seconds if you want to check that the auto clicker stays steady over time.

3. Hover over the box and press F6

   Move your mouse over the blue box and press F6. The first click starts the timer.

4. Stop it and compare

   When the result appears, press F6 again. The test won’t restart while clicks keep coming, so your result stays on screen. Compare it with the table below.

Expected CPS for Each Interval

To work out the CPS you should see, divide 1,000 by the interval in milliseconds.

Why Your Auto Clicker Is Slower Than You Set It

At 100 ms or slower, you should get almost exactly the number in the table. At very short intervals, most auto clickers fall behind. That’s normal, for three reasons:

• Windows timing isn’t perfect. Programs ask Windows to wait a few milliseconds between clicks, and Windows often waits a little longer. Across hundreds of clicks, those small delays add up.
• The browser has limits too. A busy browser tab can bunch clicks together or handle them late.
• Other programs. A game or video running in the background takes processor time away from the auto clicker.

If a game only needs 10 or 20 clicks a second, none of this matters. For the right interval for each game, see our best auto clicker settings.

How the Auto Clicker Check Works

Every test on this site records the time of each click and looks at the gaps between them. When the result says “Looks like an auto clicker”, one of these was true:

• The gaps were machine-even. If the gaps between clicks vary by less than about 12% of their average, a human hand didn’t make them. Even the steadiest person drifts by more than that.
• The speed was over 50 CPS. No human clicking technique holds that pace for a whole test.

Between 20 and 50 CPS with uneven gaps, the test can’t tell. It could be drag clicking, or an auto clicker set to a random interval, so the result says so instead of guessing. The check runs in your browser, and nothing is sent anywhere.

Test an Auto Clicker on Android or iPhone

The test takes taps as well as clicks. On Android, open this page in Chrome, start the IO Auto Clicker app, drag its target onto the blue box and press play. On iPhone and iPad, record a tap on the box with Switch Control and replay it (see our iPhone guide).
