Page Word Count
Count the visible words on any web page. Excludes scripts, styles, and hidden content.
What is Page Word Count?
Word count is a rough proxy for content depth. SEO guides recommend 800+ words for cornerstone pages, 1500+ for competitive queries, 2500+ for ultimate-guide content. This tool fetches a URL, strips scripts and styles, and counts the visible body text — same calculation Lighthouse uses for content quality scoring.
Frequently asked questions
Does word count affect ranking?▼
Indirectly — longer pages tend to cover topics more thoroughly, which Google rewards. But 5,000 words of fluff loses to 800 words of substance.
What's a reasonable target?▼
800-1500 for standard posts; 2000-3000 for cornerstone content; 5000+ for ultimate guides on competitive topics.
