Clicks are put on the audio clock ahead of time, so they keep time even when the page is busy. What you hear is late by your speakers' own delay, which no page can measure. Nothing is sent or kept.

Questions people ask
- Does it keep exact time?
- Yes. Each click is put on the audio clock ahead of time at the start plus a whole number of beats, so it never drifts, even when the page is busy.
- Can it count 6/8 or 7/8?
- Yes: 2/4, 3/4, 4/4, 5/4, 6/8 and 7/8, with the first beat accented, and eighths, triplets or sixteenths between beats under More options.
- Why does the click sound a little late?
- Every speaker and Bluetooth headphone adds its own delay, which no web page can measure; wired headphones add the least.
