### What is a Word Counter?

A word counter helps writers, marketers, students, and support teams check length limits before publishing. It is useful for articles, help docs, emails, product copy, meta descriptions, and social posts.

### What is keyword density?

Keyword density shows how frequently a word or phrase appears in a draft. It helps you catch missing topics, repetitive wording, and keyword stuffing before readers do.

FAQ

## Word counter questions.

### What does this word counter measure?

It counts words, characters, characters without spaces, sentences, paragraphs, estimated reading time, estimated speaking time, keyword usage, and repeated terms.

### How is keyword density calculated?

Keyword density is the number of times a keyword appears divided by the total word count, then shown as a percentage. Use it as a quality signal, not a strict target.

### Is my text sent anywhere?

No. The analysis runs in your browser. The page does not upload your pasted text or store it on a server.

### What keyword density is good for SEO?

There is no universal ideal percentage. A natural page usually mentions the main topic enough for clarity while avoiding repetitive phrasing that makes the content harder to read.
