You can test your password on this website https://howsecureismypassword.net/
NEVER enter any of your password anywhere else than the original website where you use it! This is how you lose your security.

Just like the examples in the OP, this isn't true! It's a very dumb method to estimate the cracking time for dictionary words as if it's random characters.
Scientific paper Speed Optimizations in Bitcoin Key Recovery Attacks gives some examples (page 6) of brain wallet passwords they cracked:
1.  say hello to my little friend
2.  to be or not to be
3.  Walk Into This Room
4.  party like it’s 1999
5.  yohohoandabottleofrum
6.  dudewheresmycar
7.  dajiahao
8.  hankou
9. {1summer2leo3phoebe
10.  0racle9i
11.  andreas antonopoulos
12.  Arnold Schwarzenegger
13.  blablablablablablabla
14.  for the longest time
15.  captain spaulding
According to the website you showed, these passwords would be impossible to crack. In reality, a smart attacker can crack them.
To prevent this, you'll need to have a password with random characters, and for that, you'll need a password manager.
