Embed the typing test

The widget is the same test that runs on this site, trimmed to the essentials: a duration chooser, the passage, live WPM, accuracy, CPM and errors, and a results screen. It runs entirely in your visitor's browser, sets no cookies, sends no requests anywhere and stores nothing except a personal best in that visitor's own browser. If you have a cookie banner, the widget does not add anything to it.

The embed code

Copy this into your page. The paragraph underneath the iframe is the one condition: links inside an iframe count for the iframe's own address rather than for your page, so the visible credit line has to sit in your HTML for the attribution to mean anything.

<iframe src="https://typebursts.com/embed/test" width="100%" height="440"
        style="border:0" title="Typing speed test by TypeBurst"
        loading="lazy"></iframe>

This is the widget, embedded on this page exactly the way the code above embeds it.

Sizing it

The widget is responsive down to 320 pixels wide, so a width of 100 percent is the right setting almost everywhere. Height is the one value worth tuning: 440 pixels fits the test and its results on a desktop layout, and 520 gives it room on a narrow column. The widget never scrolls its own content out of view, so if something is cut off, raise the height rather than the width.

What you are allowed to do with it

Put it on a commercial site, a school site, a personal blog or an intranet page, as often as you like, without asking. Do not remove or hide the credit line, and do not present the test as your own product. There is no key to request, no rate limit, no account and no registration, and there never will be: an embed that needs an account is an embed nobody uses.

Two things the widget deliberately does not do. It does not report anything back, so you cannot use it to collect scores from your visitors, and it cannot be configured to. And it does not ask your visitors for anything, so there is no email capture inside somebody else's page. If you need results collected, this is the wrong tool and you should say so to whoever asked for it.

Who this is for

Typing tutors and course pages that want a practice test on the page instead of a link away from it. HR, recruitment and staffing sites explaining what a typing requirement means, where the data entry test and the keystrokes per hour conversion are usually the relevant parts. School and classroom technology pages, where the absence of accounts and stored pupil data is the reason to pick it. And keyboard communities, where the interesting part is usually how the score is calculated.
