Seeking advice on how to increase typing speed

Hi guys, hope everyone is doing well.

I type at a speed of around 45-50 WPM without looking at the keyboard (60 WPM on a good day). This further increases by ~10 WPM if I'm looking at the keyborad, I guess the increase in speed when I'm looking at the keyborard is due to increased accuracy. I'm stuck at this speed for as long as I can remember. Earlier I needed to look at the keyboard more often as compared to now, that's the only improvement I noticed in my typing over the years.

I want to improve my speed to atleast 80 WPM. I have started practicing on keybr since 2-3 days. Please suggest me ways to improve my typing speed and accuracy / your personal experience / pitfalls etc.

TIA.
 
Type slowly for a few months while practicing and try to focus on accuracy only. You will see a change after a few months of practice.
