Metrics that help readers and SEO
Word count and reading time set expectations before someone commits to an article.
Reading time formula
Most sites use 200–250 words per minute. Zovaty blog posts display reading time computed from markdown word count.
SEO length targets
There is no magic number, but comprehensive guides often land between 800–2,500 words depending on intent. Match depth to the query.
Measure drafts with the Word Counter and headline ideas with the AI Blog Title Generator.
