How Website Word Count Works
Our Website Word Count Tool analyzes any publicly accessible webpage in three simple steps:
- Fetching: We retrieve the raw HTML content of the webpage you specify, using secure HTTPS connections and standard web protocols.
- Cleaning: Our parser removes all non-visible elements including JavaScript, CSS styles, embedded frames, and hidden content. Only the text that visitors actually see is counted.
- Analyzing: We count total words, calculate keyword frequency, and filter out common stop words (like "the", "and", "is") to identify meaningful content keywords.
