How do I use this word counter?

Paste or type your text into the text box. Word count, character count, sentence count, and reading time update instantly as you type.

Does it count characters with or without spaces?

Both are shown — characters with spaces and characters without spaces.

How is reading time calculated?

Reading time is based on an average adult reading speed of 200–250 words per minute. This is a standard benchmark used by content platforms and journalists.

What is the ideal blog post length for SEO?

Most SEO studies suggest 1,500–2,500 words for competitive topics and 800–1,200 for informational posts. Length matters less than relevance and structure — a 500-word page that directly answers a query can outrank a 3,000-word page that doesn't.

What is the ideal meta description length?

140–160 characters. Use the Character Counter section to check before pasting into your SEO fields.

What is a good keyword density?

Aim for 1–2% for your primary keyword. Higher than 3–4% can look like keyword stuffing to Google. Natural writing rarely has problems with keyword density.

Can I count words in Arabic?

Yes. Arabic text is supported — the tool counts words separated by spaces and counts Arabic characters correctly.

Is this tool useful for social media?

Yes. Twitter/X allows 280 characters. LinkedIn posts perform best at 150–300 words. Instagram captions allow up to 2,200 characters. Use the counters to stay within platform limits.
