Get Word Count for a URL
Input a blog article, and we'll show its word length, removing any text that's not the blog content itself.
Est run time: 15-20s.
Usefulness: Knowing how many words in your article is important for SEO, as usually more words indicates to Google that you care more, or at least have more budget to pay outsourced writers. Often more content also means more value to the user, which is good for SEO, although don't just throw in lyrics to an ABBA song to make your word count go up. Unless you're writing an article about them, like, 'WHAT THE HELL DOES ABBA EVEN STAND FOR ANYWAY'.
Caveats: Word counts may be slightly off due to CTAs, author bios, etc. If your site blocks bots, it will return zero.
Bot Blocking: Some sites - especially Cloudflare users - may block or throttle our bots. If so, the numbers will be empty or wonky.
Additional: You could always just copy and paste your text into Word or an online tool, but this allows you to publish and then check without that extra step.
