Website Word Count

No. Each URL check retrieves one public page. It does not crawl links or add counts across a domain. Redirects may lead to a different final URL, which appears with your result.

The check uses returned HTML without running JavaScript. Content added by scripts is absent. Hidden attributes, aria-hidden=true and inline display:none, visibility:hidden/collapse or content-visibility:hidden are excluded, but rules in stylesheets and browser layout are not evaluated.

Each consecutive run of Unicode letters or numbers is one word. Combining marks and internal straight or curly apostrophes stay within a word; hyphens separate words. Numbers count, punctuation and emoji alone do not. Text without spaces, including Chinese, Japanese and Thai, can contain multiple linguistic words inside one counted run. This is a reproducible token count, not a language-specific tokenizer.

Blocked pages, non-success HTTP responses, unsupported content and over-limit responses show an error instead of a count. You can paste source HTML for local analysis. The tool does not bypass logins or anti-bot protections.

This tool measures length and does not score quality or predict rankings. Compare pages with similar purpose and extraction scope, then review whether the content answers the reader’s question. Adding words solely to match another page can make the writing less useful.

Audit representative URLs one by one while keeping the extraction scope consistent—preferably 'Main / article' to omit global navigation and footers. Record the counted words in a spreadsheet to establish reproducible averages across specific page types like product listings, guides, or documentation.

Use a consistent extraction scope to estimate the source copy, then confirm the counting rules and included text with your translation provider. Main / article can omit shared navigation but may still include repeated text. Deduplicate shared copy and include strings outside the page HTML separately. This token count is an estimate, especially for languages without spaces.

Body text includes eligible text throughout the body, often including navigation, sidebars and footers. Main / article narrows extraction to those semantic elements. Both use source HTML and the documented exclusions, without computing stylesheet visibility. A large difference can reveal repeated page furniture; inspect the extracted text to confirm.
