Stuck at 40-50 wpm.

I am stuck at 40-50 wpm and 91% accuracy.
Some statistics:
Out of 50 mistakes
10 were blue colored
4 were pink and the rest were other mistakes.
What should I do?
I don't understand what technique means. I use the basic touch typing which is usually taught in almost every website and for the years I have been doing this since 4 months now.

I'd just continue practicing.

I was having the same problem a month ago. Now I've reached upto 60wpm.
You should work on improving your accuracy and keep practicing. It'll come eventually.

How are you typing? Sounds like a silly question but what is your technique and years of typing?

I'd suggest focusing on accuracy. 95% or better 98%. Don't worry about speed, focus on accuracy and speed will come naturally.

I started practicing typing in the Cyrillic alphabet a month ago, and I noticed that as I became more accurate, my WPM increases (I started out with 9 WPM lol and now it's 40 WPM). So I believe accuracy is one of the most important things.

Below 50 WPM = below 90% accuracy
51-100 WPM = 90%-95% accuracy
101 - 150 = 95%-100% accuracy
150+ WPM = never make a mistake
