About Reaction Time Test

Reaction time is the interval between the onset of a stimulus and the start of a muscular response. The average human visual reaction time is 200–250ms. Elite athletes and competitive gamers often train to achieve sub-200ms times. Factors like fatigue, caffeine, age, and device screen latency all influence your score.

Controls

  • Click / Tap the box — Start the test, and click again as soon as the box turns green
  • Space bar — Also triggers click when the box is focused
  • If you click too early (before green), it counts as a false start — click again to retry

How to Play

  • Click the colored box to start.
  • The box turns blue — this is the waiting phase. Do NOT click yet.
  • After a random delay (1.5–5 seconds), the box turns green.
  • Click as fast as possible the moment it turns green.
  • Your reaction time in milliseconds is displayed immediately.
  • Previous attempts appear as pills below the box — your personal best is highlighted in green.
  • Take multiple tests and watch your average improve with practice.
