Web Page Word Counter (pasted content)
100% PrivateWebsite & Webmaster ToolsCount the visible words in page content you paste, as plain text or raw HTML.
Runs entirely in your browser. Your input is not uploaded to Ovatly or anywhere else.
Paste page text, or paste the page HTML and the visible text is counted locally (scripts and styles are stripped here, never fetched).
- 1Paste the page text, or paste the page's HTML source.
- 2Read the counts panel.
- 3Check the frequent-words list to see what the page actually emphasizes.
Pasting "Our soaps are made in small batches every week. Each bar cures for four weeks before it is wrapped, labelled and posted to your door." reports 25 words, 133 characters, 109 characters without spaces, 2 sentences, 1 paragraph and a reading time of about 1 minute.
- Reading time uses 200 words per minute, an average adult reading speed for web text; it is an estimate, shown rounded up to whole minutes.
- For pasted HTML, paragraphs are counted as text blocks (p, li, headings, blockquote elements); for plain text, blank-line-separated chunks.
- The frequent-words list ignores words shorter than 3 letters and a small set of common short words (the, and, of...), which is why totals differ from the raw word count.
No. It counts what you paste. That keeps it working for unpublished drafts and staging pages, and nothing you paste leaves your browser.
About this tool
The Web Page Word Counter counts the visible words in page content you paste, accepting either plain text or full HTML. For HTML it strips scripts, styles and other non-visible markup locally, then reports words, characters, sentences, blocks, an estimated reading time and the most frequent meaningful words: the numbers editors and SEO writers actually ask for.
