About this tool
Character and word limits are everywhere: meta descriptions, tweets, college essays, ad copy, app-store listings and LinkedIn headlines. This counter updates live as you type and adds the metrics writers actually need — reading time (at 238 words per minute, the average for adult non-fiction readers), speaking time for presentations (150 wpm) and the most frequent keywords.
Keyword density helps you spot accidental over-repetition. Modern SEO doesn't reward stuffing a keyword; if one term dominates the list, vary your wording.
