Frequently Asked Questions
How is a word counted?
A word is any run of non-whitespace characters separated by spaces, tabs or line breaks. Empty text counts as zero words.
How is reading time estimated?
Reading time assumes an average adult reading speed of about 200 words per minute. It is a rough estimate, useful for blog posts and articles.
Is there a character limit for meta descriptions or tweets?
Google typically shows around 155–160 characters of a meta description; X (Twitter) posts allow 280 characters. The live character count helps you stay within these limits.
Is my text sent anywhere?
No. All counting happens in your browser as you type. Nothing is uploaded, logged or stored.
