Word Counter for SEO writing
Search-friendly copy lives or dies on character counts. Title tags get truncated at ~60 characters. Meta descriptions cap around 155-160. Twitter posts at 280, LinkedIn at 3000, Instagram at 2200. Word Counter sits next to your editor and counts in real time so you don't accidentally publish a title that gets cut off mid-sentence.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a length limit?
Practically, several MB of text. Beyond that the browser starts to lag.
Does Word Counter count characters with or without spaces?
Word Counter shows both counts simultaneously, so you can use whichever your target requires.
Can Word Counter handle non-English text?
Yes — it uses Unicode-standard rules that work for most major scripts.
Does Word Counter save my text?
No. Word Counter processes everything in your browser; nothing is uploaded or stored.
