Website Word Counter
Enter any web page URL to instantly analyse its total visible content — word count, characters, sentences and estimated reading time.
Counts the visible text on the page (menus, body copy and footer). Some sites block automated requests — if so, try another page.
What is the Website Word Counter?
Want to know how much content is really on a web page? The Website Word Counter lets you analyse the total site content of any URL in seconds. Just paste in a web address and it fetches the page, strips out the code, and counts the total words, characters and sentences of the visible text — plus an estimated reading time. It is ideal for checking the length of your own pages, sizing up a competitor’s article, or auditing thin content that may be holding your SEO back.

Why This Matters for SEO
Content length is one signal search engines use to judge how thoroughly a page covers a topic. Pages that are too thin often struggle to rank against more comprehensive competitors. By measuring the total word count of any page, you can benchmark your content against the pages already ranking, find thin pages worth expanding, and plan articles that match search intent rather than guessing at length.
