Every stat on the Pop the Confetti board, explained
The confetti button tracks six numbers while you pop. Total Clicks counts presses and Total Confetti Popped counts every piece of confetti those presses fired. Avg Clicks/Min measures your pace from your first click to your latest one. Last Click Speed and Fastest Click Speed measure the gap between two consecutive clicks in milliseconds, so a lower number is faster. Best Click Streak counts how many clicks you chained with less than one second between each. This page explains each one, how it is calculated, and what a good number looks like.
The six stats at a glance
| Stat | What it measures | Good means |
|---|---|---|
| Total Clicks | Every press of the big button since you opened the page | Higher |
| Total Confetti Popped | Every piece of confetti fired, 50 to 300 per click | Higher |
| Avg Clicks/Min | Total clicks divided by minutes between page load and your latest click | Higher |
| Last Click Speed | Milliseconds between your two most recent clicks | Lower |
| Fastest Click Speed | The smallest gap between any two consecutive clicks | Lower |
| Best Click Streak | Longest run of clicks with under 1 second between each | Higher |

Total Clicks and Total Confetti Popped
Total Clicks is the raw count of button presses. Total Confetti Popped counts individual pieces of confetti. Each click fires a random burst of 50 to 300 pieces, so this number grows roughly 175 times faster than your click count and is the one the share message brags about. A tweet saying you popped twenty thousand confettis reads better than a hundred clicks.
Avg Clicks/Min
Avg Clicks/Min is your total clicks divided by the minutes between the page loading and your most recent click. It is a pace across your whole session, not a burst measurement. The clock stops at your last click, so pausing to read does not drag it down until you click again. Clicking hard for ten seconds, waiting a minute, then clicking once will roughly halve it. That makes it a fair measure of sustained effort and a poor measure of peak speed.
For comparison, dedicated click speed sites report average users at roughly five to seven clicks per second on a short test, which works out to about 300 to 420 clicks per minute if you could hold that pace for a full minute. Almost nobody can. A sustained 200 clicks per minute on the confetti button is a strong result. Clicks per minute vs clicks per second goes deeper on the difference.
Last Click Speed and Fastest Click Speed
These two are the ones people ask about. Both are measured in milliseconds and both are gaps between two consecutive clicks. Last Click Speed is the gap between your two most recent clicks. Fastest Click Speed is the smallest gap you have produced during the visit. A lower number is faster.
This is not a reaction time test. Reaction time measures how quickly you respond to a stimulus, like a color change, and sits around 190 milliseconds for a visual cue in young adults, with most people slower than that. The confetti button measures the interval between two clicks you initiate yourself, so the number can go far below any reaction time. Two fast taps 80 milliseconds apart are normal for a practised finger. That matches a click rate of about 12 clicks per second.
- Above 200 ms: relaxed single clicks, the pace of someone reading between pops.
- 100 to 200 ms: steady rapid clicking with one finger, roughly 5 to 10 clicks per second.
- 60 to 100 ms: fast bursts, the range where butterfly clicking with two fingers starts to show.
- Under 60 ms: elite or lucky. Double-taps and mouse switch bounce can also land here, so treat a single reading with suspicion and look at your streak instead.
The share message uses Fastest Click Speed as the dare. That is deliberate. It is the one number a friend can beat in ten seconds without knowing anything about the site. How to click faster covers the techniques that move this number.
Best Click Streak
A streak is a run of clicks where every gap is under one second. The moment you pause for a full second, the next click starts a fresh streak of one and Best Click Streak keeps the longest run you reached. This is the stat that rewards rhythm over raw speed. You can hold a streak at two clicks per second forever if you never stop, and that is the whole game. The click streak challenge has tips for going long.
What happens to the numbers when you reload
Everything resets. The site keeps no account, no cookie score, and no leaderboard. A leaderboard existed in an earlier version and was removed so that the page could stay completely free of accounts and tracking of scores. If you want a record, use Share on Twitter or Share on Facebook. The share text includes your fastest click and your confetti total.
Frequently asked questions
Why does Fastest Click Speed show N/A? You need at least two clicks before there is a gap to measure. The first click starts the clock.
Does the sound affect the stats? No. The speaker toggle only mutes the pop sound. Timing is measured from the click event, not the audio.
Can I use a keyboard? The button is a real HTML button, so Space and Enter both press it. The stats treat a key press the same as a mouse click.
Is there a time limit? No. Unlike a fixed ten-second click speed test, the confetti button runs until you leave. Pace yourself or sprint, both work.
