Question 1

What is a website word counter?

Accepted Answer

A website word counter is a free online tool that scans your website's public pages and calculates the total number of words across your entire site. Unlike simple text word counters where you paste content manually, our website word counter crawls your actual URLs and counts everything — visible text, words inside your HTML code, meta descriptions, and SEO tags. This gives you an accurate picture of how much content your website contains, which is useful for SEO analysis, content audits and estimating translation costs.

Question 2

How does this website word counter tool work?

Accepted Answer

Simply enter your website URL and click "Analyse website." Our tool will automatically discover and crawl all of your site's publicly accessible pages, then count the words on each one. Once the scan is complete, you'll see a detailed breakdown with word counts per page, your total word count, and the number of pages found. The entire process usually takes just a few seconds or 1-2 minutes, depending on the size of your website.

Question 3

Does the word count include meta descriptions and SEO tags?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our website word counter goes beyond just the visible text on the page. It also counts words inside your HTML source code, meta titles, meta descriptions, alt tags, and other SEO elements. This matters because when you translate a website, all of that content needs to be translated too — not just what visitors can see. It gives you the most accurate total of words that actually exist on your site.

Question 4

Why should I translate my website?

Accepted Answer

Translating your website in multiple languages is a proven way to increase multilingual traffic and conversions. Multilingual websites consistently see higher engagement and lower bounce rates. Your translated content will rank well in international markets, effectively multiplying your organic search visibility and boosting your revenue.

Question 5

Can I really translate my entire website in minutes?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our built-in AI translation engine will automatically translate all your website content instantly. If you choose to, you can easily edit and refine anything using a visual translation interface, directly from the front-end. TranslatePress AI also keeps your translations up to date, so whenever you publish new content or modify existing pages, they get automatically translated. It doesn't get any easier than this.

Question 6

How do I use this tool to find the right TranslatePress plan?

Accepted Answer

After you scan your website, you'll see your total words to translate count along with a recommended TranslatePress plan that matches your site's size. You can also adjust the number of languages you want to translate into, and the recommendation updates accordingly. This makes it easy to see exactly which plan covers your needs, whether you have a small business site with a few thousand words or a large content-heavy website.
