Frequently Asked Questions
How are words counted?
Words are counted by splitting the text on whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, newlines). Hyphenated words like “well-known” are counted as a single word. Empty lines and extra spaces between words do not affect the count.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time is estimated using an average reading speed of 225 words per minute, which is a widely accepted average for adult readers. The actual time may vary depending on text complexity and the reader's familiarity with the subject.
What is keyword density?
Keyword density is the percentage of times a specific word appears relative to the total word count. It is commonly used in SEO to ensure content does not over-use or under-use target keywords. A density of 1-3% per keyword is generally recommended.
Is there a character limit?
No. This tool processes text entirely in your browser, so there is no server-imposed limit. However, extremely large documents (over 1 million characters) may cause some lag in the real-time analysis.
