Every stat updates as you type — no button to press, nothing to upload. Here's how to get the most out of it.
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time uses 200 words per minute — the average adult silent reading speed for web content. Speaking time uses 130 words per minute (natural speech), and typing time uses 40 words per minute (average typist). These are population averages; your own speed will vary.
How does the readability score work?
Readability is estimated from average words per sentence — a reliable proxy for text complexity. Shorter sentences are easier to read. Under 10 words/sentence is Very Easy; 10–14 is Easy; 15–20 is Standard; 21–25 is Difficult; over 25 is Very Difficult. For most blogs, aim for 14–17 words per sentence.
What are stopwords?
Stopwords are common grammatical filler words like the, and, is, a that appear in almost all texts. Switching the Top Keywords card to "No stopwords" reveals the words that actually define your content's topic — more useful for SEO and content analysis.
Is my text stored or sent to a server?
No text is ever sent to a server — everything runs in your browser. The only storage involved is a local, on-device draft saved in your browser (not on any server) so you don't lose work if the tab closes accidentally; you can discard it at any time from the restore banner or by clearing the text.
What is the ideal blog post length for SEO?
For competitive keywords, 1,500–3,000+ words tends to rank better because it covers topics more thoroughly and earns more backlinks. For low-competition or local keywords, 600–1,000 words is often enough. The key is matching depth to user intent — never pad for the sake of length alone.
