Web Page Word Counter

The page’s server-rendered HTML is converted to plain text (scripts, styles and markup stripped; URLs excluded) and split into words. Navigation and footer text count too, since crawlers read them — expect slightly higher numbers than a copy-paste of the article body.

How often a word appears as a percentage of all words on the page. There’s no magic number to hit — modern engines rank topical coverage, not repetition. The table is most useful for spotting accidental keyword stuffing or a page that never mentions its target term.

No — like search engines on their first pass, it reads the server-rendered HTML. If your word count looks near-zero, your content is probably client-rendered; the browser engine (free on sign-up) counts the rendered page.
