Frequently Asked Questions
What text is counted?
Only visible page text — scripts, stylesheets, and HTML tags are excluded using HTMLRewriter. Boilerplate in headers, footers, and navigation is included in the count.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time assumes 200 words per minute, rounded up to the nearest minute with a minimum of 1 minute.
Why might the count differ from other tools?
Different tools use different tokenization rules. This tool splits on whitespace after normalizing consecutive spaces and newlines.
