How to use it
- 1
Let the meter run
The FPS counter starts as soon as the page loads. Leave it for a few seconds so the average and minimum have time to settle.
- 2
Read the graph
The live graph shows the last few seconds of frame rate. A flat line near your screen rate is smooth; dips are dropped frames.
- 3
Stress it a little
Scroll, switch tabs, or open a heavy page in another tab and watch the FPS react, which shows how your machine copes under load.
When it comes in handy
Checking browser smoothness
See whether sluggish scrolling or animation is dropping frames, and how much, with a number rather than a guess.
Comparing machines or browsers
Run the same meter on two devices or browsers to feel which one holds a steadier frame rate.
Spotting background hogs
Watch the FPS recover after you close a heavy tab or app, which reveals what was stealing performance.
Instant & 100% private — nothing is recorded
The test runs right here in your browser. When it needs your camera or microphone, the feed is shown to you and nothing else: never uploaded, never recorded to a server, never stored. There is no sign-up and no email wall, and most tests keep working with no connection at all.
Frequently asked questions
- What is a good FPS reading?
- A smooth result matches your screen refresh rate, so 60 frames per second on a 60Hz screen or 120 on a 120Hz screen. Browsers cap drawing at the screen rate, so you will not see numbers above it here. Steady is what matters: frequent dips below your screen rate are what make motion look choppy.
- Why is my FPS capped at 60?
- The browser only draws as often as your screen refreshes, so on a 60Hz display the meter tops out at 60 frames per second by design. To see higher numbers you need a higher-refresh screen with that rate switched on. A refresh rate test confirms what your screen is actually set to.
- Why does my FPS drop sometimes?
- Dips happen when your computer cannot finish a frame in time, usually because another tab, app or background task is using the processor or graphics. Close heavy tabs and programs and the frame rate should climb back toward your screen rate. Consistent low numbers point to an overloaded or older machine.
- Does this test send anything to a server?
- No. The whole test runs in your browser on your own device, and nothing it reads is uploaded, recorded or stored. You can prove it by disconnecting from the internet after the page loads: the test keeps working. There is no sign-up and no account.
