Thirty seconds is the sweet spot of typing tests: long enough that one fumbled word doesn't wreck your score, short enough to repeat a dozen times while chasing a personal best. It's the format most people reach for when they want a quick, honest reading of their current speed without committing to a full minute.
Your score is measured the standard way — (characters ÷ 5) ÷ minutes — with both raw and net WPM plus accuracy, so a clean run and a sloppy run never look the same. Because it's quick, the 30-second test doubles as the perfect warm-up: two or three rounds to loosen your fingers before you attempt a 60 or 90-second benchmark.
Like every Eletypes test, it's free with no account and no ads. Your history is stored locally and charted over time, and one click turns a personal best into a shareable result card — or send a challenge link so a friend types the exact same text.
