Methods.
The math, the browser APIs, and the limits behind every DeviceCheckOnline diagnostic. We measure what's measurable; we say so when something isn't.
01
How DeviceCheckOnline measures mouse polling rate
A complete explanation of how a browser can measure mouse polling rate up to 8 kHz: coalesced pointer events, hardware timestamps, interval distributions, and what the browser cannot see.

02
How DeviceCheckOnline computes click speed (CPS)
Why most CPS test sites get peak click rate wrong, and How DeviceCheckOnline computes the rolling 1-second maximum that matches what game-server anti-cheat actually measures.

03
How DeviceCheckOnline measures mouse DPI in a browser
The honest browser-based DPI test: comparing cursor pixel-travel to physical ruler distance with devicePixelRatio correction, and what disables enhanced pointer precision actually changes.

04
How DeviceCheckOnline measures typing speed (WPM)
The five-character word convention, accuracy weighting, consistency math, and why your WPM here may differ from 10fastfingers or Monkeytype.

05
How DeviceCheckOnline measures monitor refresh rate
Why rAF-based measurement is the gold-standard browser method, what it misses (VRR, fullscreen-exclusive), and how we classify 60/120/144/240/360 Hz panels.

06
How DeviceCheckOnline measures microphone loudness (LUFS)
K-weighting, momentary vs short-term vs integrated, and exactly which BS.1770 / R128 specifications our meter implements.
