Word counter

There is no official minimum, but SEO studies indicate that articles between 1,500 and 2,500 words tend to rank better. However, content quality and relevance to search intent matter more than length. For high-competition informational articles, 2,000+ words is often the required threshold.

Google truncates the meta title at around 60 characters and the meta description at around 155–160 characters. Keeping text within these limits ensures it displays in full in search results (SERP).

Estimated reading time is calculated by dividing the word count by the average adult reading speed, approximately 200 words per minute for comprehension reading. For technical or dense content, 150–180 wpm is more realistic. The result is always an approximation.

Since 2017, Twitter (now X) allows up to 280 characters per tweet for most users. Verified X Premium accounts can post tweets of up to 25,000 characters. Characters are counted including spaces and line breaks.
