APM means actions per minute. Games define “action” differently, so a browser test is an estimate, not a universal esports statistic.

The formula

Valid actions divided by elapsed minutes gives raw APM. A 30-second run is multiplied by two.

Filtering repeats

Holding a key can generate automatic repeats. A useful test filters those so one hold is not counted as dozens of deliberate actions.

Interpretation

Higher APM is not always better. Accuracy, decision quality and useful actions matter in real games.
