Counting More Than Words

The counter tracks characters (with and without spaces), words, sentences and paragraphs as you type, plus estimated reading and speaking time. Word frequency analysis shows which terms you repeat most - handy for spotting filler words in a draft.

Character limits are everywhere: roughly 155 characters for a meta description before Google truncates it (the exact numbers are in the meta tag checklist), 280 for a post on X, 60 for a page title. Paste your text and check before publishing rather than after.
