Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How is reading time calculated?
We calculate reading time based on the average adult silent reading speed of approximately 200 words per minute (WPM), and speaking time based on the average speaking speed of 130 WPM. These are general averages; individual speeds can vary significantly.
Q. What is keyword density and what's the ideal percentage?
Keyword density is the percentage of times a specific word appears relative to the total word count. For SEO, there is no single "ideal" percentage, but most SEO experts recommend keeping the primary keyword density between 1-2% to avoid keyword stuffing penalties from search engines like Google.
Q. Is my text private and secure?
100% yes. All text analysis is performed in real-time in your browser using JavaScript. The text you type or paste is never sent to our servers, recorded, or stored anywhere. You can safely analyze confidential documents and sensitive information.
