WPM is the real speed metric, which decides how fast you type. The net WPM is linked to accuracy, so if your accuracy drops in a typing test, the net WPM drops significantly.
Accuracy is the metric that tells you how many mistakes you make in a test. It does not directly decide your speed, but making more mistakes slows you down, so you should try to maintain good accuracy during a test. Usually, accuracy above 95% is good, and above 97% is considered great.

A good typing speed depends on your goals, but many people aim to become both comfortable and accurate first. As your consistency improves, your WPM generally improves as well.
Accuracy matters because mistakes slow you down. A slightly lower WPM with strong accuracy is usually more useful than typing fast with frequent errors.
