Word & Character Counter (Live) — With URL Analyzer
Get instant text statistics as you type: words, characters (with/without spaces), bytes (UTF-8), sentences, paragraphs, averages per sentence/paragraph, and estimated reading and speaking time. For web content, paste a link and the tool can fetch the page text (CORS or proxy fallback) so you can analyze articles, docs, and landing pages in seconds — all privately, in your browser.

Supported Operations
Text Metrics
Counts words, characters, and UTF-8 bytes, detects sentences/paragraphs, and computes averages (words per sentence/paragraph).
- Unicode-aware tokenization (handles multilingual text and smart apostrophes)
- URL and email tokens treated as single words
- Robust sentence/end punctuation heuristics

Sortable frequency table with density percentages. Useful for SEO analysis, editorial balance, and topic focus checks.

Technical Details
The analyzer is built with modern web APIs for speed and privacy. URL fetch uses a two-step approach:
- Direct CORS: Fetch the page when the site permits it
- Proxy Fallback: Optional same-origin PHP endpoint that retrieves HTML server-side and returns plain text
Use Cases
SEO & Content Strategy

Estimate read time, compare drafts, and export keyword data for analysis.
Presentations
Tune scripts to fit time slots using speaking-time presets.
Privacy & Security
This tool follows a privacy-first design:
- No text is uploaded during local analysis
- URL fetch prefers direct CORS; proxy fallback is same-origin
- No analytics, no tracking pixels
- Temporary in-memory processing with easy clear/reset
