Reading the two numbers
Hit rate and reaction time pull in different directions on purpose. Click carefully and your reaction average climbs while your hit rate stays high. Click on instinct and reaction drops while hit rate takes the damage. Neither number alone tells you much — a 98% hit rate at 600 ms is a different player than a 60% hit rate at 220 ms, and most people are better served by moving toward the middle than maximizing either extreme.
- Hit rate above 85%, reaction under 350 ms — a genuinely sharp combination.
- Hit rate above 90%, reaction over 450 ms — accurate but cautious; try clicking a beat earlier.
- Hit rate under 60% — you're clicking ahead of your eyes; the targets are winning the race against your reflex, not your aim.
What the heatmap is actually showing
Because every click is plotted — not just hits — the heatmap reveals a bias most people don't know they have: a tendency to click slightly left, slightly high, or clustered toward the center of the box regardless of where the target actually was. That offset is often more fixable than raw speed, and it's invisible until you see thirty clicks stacked on top of each other.
