The chronometer counts what the browser dispatches to it. It has no way to know
whether a pointerdown event came from a finger, a macro, or a browser
extension, and any site claiming otherwise is guessing.
What a script produces
An auto-clicker set to 50 clicks per second reads as 3,000 CPM. Set to 200, it reads as 12,000. Both numbers are correct descriptions of the script and worthless descriptions of a person.
The tell is the per-second profile. A hand produces bars of varying height — the first second is always the tallest, and the last is always shorter. A script produces a perfectly flat profile, every bar identical, and a longest-gap readout that never varies by more than a millisecond. Humans cannot do that.
Why we do not filter
Filtering means picking a threshold above which presses are discarded. Every threshold is wrong in one of two directions:
- Set it low and you delete real presses from a genuine butterfly or drag run, producing a reading lower than the person actually achieved.
- Set it high and it filters nothing a determined script cannot get under.
So the chronometer does not pretend. The top calibration band is labelled instrument-limited rather than by any human quality, because a reading up there describes equipment or software, not a hand.
The consequence for records
This is also why there is no global leaderboard here. A leaderboard on an unverifiable input is a ranking of auto-clickers, and publishing one would make every honest reading on it look slow.
It is the same reason the widely quoted world records fail scrutiny. The most repeated figure — 1,051 clicks in 10 seconds, or 6,306 CPM — was rejected on the platform that hosted it for breaching its own rule against auto-clickers. A human hand on a single button produces 14 to 16 clicks per second across ten seconds. Everything above roughly 1,200 CPM is the equipment talking.
If you want a reading you can keep
Disable auto-clicker extensions before a run. Not because we will catch you — because a number you cannot reproduce tomorrow is not worth having today.
