Form tracking is one of the most popular topics on this blog. Chances are that you’ve already seen some of my guides, like 6 Ways How to Track Forms, How to Track Form Abandonment, Contact Form 7 tracking, Enriching Form Submission Data, and many others.

And that question led me exactly to the birth of this blog post where I’m playing around and trying to track the timing of form submission, or in other words, how long does it take to successfully submit a form.
