Who uses a word counter?
Students writing essays, bloggers, copywriters, translators and SEO writers all work to word or character limits. This counter handles every language and script, counts contractions and hyphenated words as single words, and never sends your text anywhere.
Ideal content length for SEO
There is no single correct length; Google measures how well a page answers the query, not its word count. That said, top results for competitive topics are often 1,000–2,000 words. For meta descriptions aim for 150–160 characters and for page titles 50–60.
Frequently asked questions
Are spaces included in the character count?
The tool shows both: characters with spaces and characters without spaces. Most limits are based on the count with spaces.
How is reading time calculated?
It uses an average adult reading speed of about 230 words per minute. Speaking time uses 140 words per minute.
Is my text saved anywhere?
No. Counting happens entirely in your browser and your text is never sent to a server.
