Why content metrics matter for SEO

Google doesn't have a fixed word-count requirement, but content depth strongly correlates with rankings on competitive queries. The average top-10 result for informational queries is 1,500-2,500 words. The Word Counter and Reading Time tools tell you instantly if you're below the threshold. Headline Analyzer helps you craft a clickable title — and on most pages, the title is responsible for 50%+ of click-through-rate variance.

Markdown is the publishing format that won

Markdown is the universal writing format: it's plain text, version-control-friendly, renders consistently across platforms, and converts to HTML cleanly. Most CMSes (Ghost, Notion, GitHub, every static site generator) prefer it. The Markdown-to-HTML and HTML-to-Markdown tools handle the conversion in either direction. Use them to migrate between platforms, paste rich content into Markdown-only editors, or strip HTML noise out of copied web content.

Social media character limits cheat sheet

Twitter/X: 280 chars (URLs count as 23). Instagram: 2,200 caption + 30 hashtags max, but only first 125 chars show in feed. LinkedIn: 3,000-char posts, but engagement drops sharply over 1,300. Facebook: 63,206 chars allowed but the algorithm punishes posts over 80 chars. Bluesky: 300 chars. Mastodon: 500 chars default, 4,000 on some instances. The Twitter Counter and Instagram Caption Counter on this page enforce the right limits for each platform.

Frequently asked questions

Is the Reading Time accurate?
Reading time is estimated at 200-250 words per minute (the average adult reading speed for digital content). Highly technical content reads slower; light content reads faster. Use it as a guide, not a guarantee.
Does Headline Analyzer use machine learning?
No — it scores against empirical rules from CoSchedule and Buffer's published headline research: word count, emotional words, power words, and structure. ML would need training data; the rules give consistent results without it.
What's a 'good' word count for blog SEO?
For informational queries, 1,500+ words. For commercial queries ('best X', 'X vs Y'), 2,500+. For transactional pages (signup, pricing), shorter is better — 300-800 words. Match the search intent, not a fixed target.
