Count the visible words on any live page, with sentence and reading-time figures.
Free, no signup. We fetch the page once and read what your server sends back.
This counts what a reader actually sees, not the HTML. Script and style blocks are stripped first, which matters because a page built with a heavy page builder can look substantial in the source and be nearly empty on screen.
As many as it takes to answer the search completely. Word-count targets are a proxy that got mistaken for a rule. The useful test is whether you cover what the ranking pages cover, plus something they do not.
Longer content correlates with better rankings because thorough coverage takes words, not because length itself is rewarded. Padding a page to hit a number achieves nothing.
Because this counts only what renders as visible text. Navigation, footers and script contents are excluded where possible.
Not always. A contact page needs very few words. It becomes a problem when a page is competing for a commercial search and says less than everything ranking above it.
