Analyze Any Website Instantly
Competitor analysis is a cornerstone of modern SEO. Our Webpage Word Count Tool allows you to peek under the hood of any URL to see exactly how much content they have. Whether you are auditing your own site or spying on the competition, data is power.
Why Count Words on a Webpage?
Search engines like Google prioritize content that covers a topic comprehensively. Often, this correlates with word count. If the top-ranking results for your target keyword all have 2,000+ words, and your page only has 500, you have a "content gap."
Use this tool to:
- Audit Your Site: Find "thin content" pages that might be hurting your overall flexible SEO score.
- Competitor Benchmarking: See how much effort your rivals put into their ranking articles.
- Quality Control: Ensure your guest posts or outsourced content meet your length requirements before publishing.
How It Works
We fetch the public HTML of the URL you provide, strip away the code (scripts, styles, tags), and analyze the remaining visible text. This gives you a raw count of the content a regular user (and a search engine crawler) would see.
