Do you feel your screen is lagging during gaming or while scrolling through your code? Or maybe you're a developer trying to optimize an app and need to see how smoothly it runs?

FPS, or frames per second, is the number of frames your screen refreshes every second. It’s critical for:

Gaming: Higher FPS means smoother visuals.
Development: Check if your app's animations are buttery smooth.
Everyday Use: Even scrolling feels better with optimized FPS.

Whether you're a gamer, developer, or just curious, understanding your screen's FPS can help you improve performance.
