A word counter built for SEO writing
Paste or type your text and every number updates as you write: words, characters with and without spaces, sentences, paragraphs, reading time and speaking time. Your text never leaves your browser.
The keyword lists show the most repeated words and two-word phrases, ignoring common stop words, so you can spot over-optimization or missing topics.
How reading time is calculated
Reading time uses an average of 238 words per minute, the average silent reading speed for adults in English. Speaking time uses 150 words per minute, a typical pace for presentations and videos.
How long should an article be for SEO?
There is no ideal word count. Google ranks pages that answer the query best, not the longest ones. Look at the pages that rank for your keyword, cover the topic completely, and stop when the reader has what they need.
Keyword density: what it means today
Keyword density is the percentage of times a word appears in the text. Modern search engines understand topics and synonyms, so there is no target density. Use it as a warning sign: if one word goes far above 2 or 3 percent, the text probably reads unnaturally.
Frequently asked questions
Does the word counter store my text?
No. Everything runs in your browser and nothing is sent to our servers.
Are numbers counted as words?
Yes. Numbers and words with hyphens or apostrophes count as one word.
What counts as a sentence?
Text ending in a period, question mark or exclamation mark.
