Does this tool count spaces as characters?
Yes, our tool provides two metrics: 'Characters (with spaces)' and 'Characters (no spaces)'. Most social media platforms like Twitter include spaces in their limits.
How is reading time calculated?
We use the global standard average reading speed of 200 words per minute (WPM). This helps you estimate how long it will take a visitor to read your blog post.
Is my text private?
Yes, 100%. The text processing happens entirely in your web browser using JavaScript. We do not store, save, or send your text to any server.
What is the limit for Twitter/X posts?
Standard users are limited to 280 characters. Our tool has a specific visual indicator for this limit so you can craft the perfect tweet.
Why is word count important for SEO?
While word count itself isn't a direct ranking factor, comprehensive content (often 1,500+ words) tends to rank better because it covers topics in more depth, satisfying user intent.
