I just deal with the two mistake limit.We have six unique typing speed test systems so you can choose as per your requirement. But to be honest most of the time I just find some stenography youtube videos where someone reads out some text at X WPM and I just type as I hear, then for testing my speed I use either the X minute tests on, or the X page tests on the same website. Upshot of this is most websites I have come accross have been pretty awful in some way or another, at least for me personally.
I also don't like the websites where the word you are currently typing is always centred, and instead everything just slides from right to left as you type, it's quite distracting seeing what you're supposed to type move as you type in, as opposed to just copying some text into an empty text box which is way more realistic. On these websites when you make a mistake you just have to start typing again from where you made the mistake, visually it looks terrible too on screen, to use the same example again it would look like this "I'm tyumcing", the 'umc' would just be red. The worst are the websites that outright do not support backspaces at all, which is super super unatural.
I wish there was a website that let you actually make mistakes, and then let YOU backspace and correct them. But that's a hard habbit to kick, so I will often backspace three times and continue typing only to realise that I backspaced too far and now my whole word is wrong and I have to actually think about where I have to backspace up to. to me at least), your instant reflex will be to backspace THREE times, but because it doesn't actually let you make more than two mistakes, although you accidentally typed a 'c' at the end of the word, it wont come up onscreen, so you have to backspace twice. For example if you have to type "I'm typing" and you accidentally type "I'm typumc" (this kind of thing happens more than you might think. The main con about this website is that it physicially does not let you make more than two mistakes in a row, which can be very problematic when you start to type fast. The website I've used the most is, but mostly just because it assembles many features into one place, including creating an account and tracking progress, as well as a lot of variety in practice/testing.
I relatively recently took on the monumental challange of throwing Qwerty out of the window, I rearranged my keyboard keycaps to Dvorak, so I've been doing a lot of practice and tests. So many terrible typing speed test/practice websites.
