FPS Tester

What Does This FPS Test Actually Measure?

Click the Start button and the test begins counting how many animation frames your browser renders every second using requestAnimationFrame, the same API browsers use for games and animations. So you're seeing your actual rendering speed, not some theoretical number.This FPS test reflects your system’s real-time performance.

How to Get the Most Accurate Results?

For the cleanest reading, close other tabs and heavy applications before running the test. If you're on a laptop, plug it in - battery-saving modes can throttle your GPU and CPU, which directly reduces your FPS. Also, make sure this tab is in focus; browsers deprioritize background tabs and will cap their frame rate to save resources.Let the test run for at least 10-15 seconds to get a stable average.

FPS Benchmarks: What Do the Numbers Mean?

15-29 FPSVery Low (Feels Like a Slideshow)Movement looks choppy and not smooth. You may notice lag or delay when you interact. This usually happens when your device is under heavy load or not powerful enough for smooth performance.30-59 FPSPlayableUsable for casual content but you'll notice the choppiness, especially in animations and scrolling.

What Affects Your Browser FPS?

A few things affect the FPS your browser can hit:• GPU Performance: Your graphics card handles rendering. Integrated graphics (Intel/AMD APU) are slower than dedicated GPUs (NVIDIA/AMD). For browser content, even integrated graphics should hit 60 FPS easily.• CPU Load: JavaScript execution, layout calculations, and DOM manipulation all use CPU.

How to Improve Your FPS?

The easiest thing you can do is close tabs you’re not using. Browsers like Chrome use a lot of memory, and every open tab takes some CPU and RAM even in the background. If you have many tabs open, your FPS will likely drop.Next, check if hardware acceleration is turned on in your browser. If it’s off, your CPU does all the work instead of your GPU. This can slow things down a lot.
