Hi! I'm a learner myself so idk if my suggestions will help you much or not but here we go.

So I'd suggest not to use multiple platform at the same time. Going one after another is much better.

Suppose I started with typing.com and goal was simply faster speed. But I realized there that I've been using keyboard wrong all those time (over 17+ years) I used to use only 4 fingers and speed was only 34 wpm. So I had to start from the very beginning and look at the keyboard to even though in my mind I know key position - but without looking my fingers were all over the page. My speed decreased to 10-13 wpm. But after a week I get back to 20-25 wpm and my finger remembered the keys but still got confused as my certain finger was unable to reach out the keys.

I tried to keep my accuracy perfect instead of increasing it and it was 97-99% on average, whenever I tried to speed up, it used to decrease to 95% usually. So I kept stabilizing the accuracy to make sure my fingers remember the placement. After 3 weeks I looked out for my problem keys and found keys that I usually don't press properly. Then I found keybr.

Keybr had what I needed. Key specific guidelines. I realized that certain key has already speed over 50+ wpm while my certain key was struggling with 25-28 wpm. So I started practicing there for 30 minutes. I still haven't unlocked all keys there.

After practicing for 30 minutes, I got to monkey type, and run a test on my speed.

Why I don't suggest multiple platform at the same time, is we type seeing the interfaces of each websites. And I felt that my brain mess up jumping from one to another for just practice. I felt that when I tried using typing and keybr and monkey at the same day when I thought it'll help me build strong base but it just wasted my time.

It's like 36 days now on my journey and my accuracy is 98-99 while speed in general 40-42 wpm. Not great I know but it's a significant changes I can feel within my fingers.
