Platform Limits

Word Count for SEO

Search engines use content length as a quality signal. Blog posts targeting informational keywords typically rank better at 1,500–2,500 words. This tool helps you hit target word counts before publishing without relying on your CMS word counter.

Readability & Audience

A Flesch Reading Ease score of 60–70 targets the general public. Academic writing often scores below 30. If you're writing for a global audience β€” many of whom are non-native English speakers β€” aim for 65+ to maximize comprehension.

Keyword Density Explained

Keyword density measures how often a keyword appears relative to total words. Most SEO guidance recommends 1–2% for your primary keyword. Over 3–4% risks being flagged as keyword stuffing by search engines.

Platform Character Limits

Twitter/X allows 280 characters, meta descriptions ~155, title tags ~60, and Google Ads headlines 90. Paste your copy and instantly see which platforms you're within limits for β€” no mental math required.

What is Flesch Reading Ease and why does it matter?

Flesch Reading Ease (0–100) measures how easy text is to read. 90+ is very easy (5th grade), 60–70 is standard (plain English), below 30 is very hard (academic/legal). Web content targeting general audiences should aim above 60.

What is Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level?

FK Grade Level estimates the US school grade needed to understand the text. A grade of 8 means an 8th grader can comfortably read it. Lower grades = wider audience reach.

Is my text stored or shared?

No. All analysis happens in your browser using JavaScript. Your text never leaves your device and is never sent to any server.

What are stop words in keyword density?

Stop words are common function words (the, and, is, to, etc.) that carry little meaning and are excluded from keyword analysis. The keyword density panel only shows meaningful content words.
