Website Word Counter (Free)
How many words does your website have? Enter your address and the word counter scans your public pages and adds up every word that would need translating.
The counter opens in a new tab on wordcounter.conveythis.com.
Why your word count matters for translation
Every way of translating a website is priced by the amount of text. Agencies quote per word, and website translation tools size their plans by the number of translated words. Before you compare options, you need to know how much text your site really has, and that is hard to guess: menus, footers, product descriptions, blog archives, and SEO tags all add up. The word counter crawls the public pages of your site and counts the words in each page's HTML, including meta descriptions and other SEO text that search engines read in every language. You get total words, unique words, and pages found, with a per-page list you can copy or download. Take the total to the translation cost calculator to see which ConveyThis plan fits, or compare plans on the pricing page. Translated pages also need hreflang and translated metadata to rank; see multilingual SEO.
How it works
- Open the word counter and enter your website address.
- It visits your public pages one by one, following links, and counts the words in each page, including meta descriptions and SEO tags.
- You see the running totals — total words, unique words, and pages found — and a list of every page with its count.
- Copy the report or download it as TXT or CSV, then multiply by your number of languages (the cost calculator does this for you).
The scan has a time limit and only sees public pages, so very large sites, logged-in areas, and content loaded later by scripts can make the real number higher.
Frequently asked questions
Is the website word counter free?
Yes. You can scan a website without an account. Enter the address of the site and the tool crawls its public pages and reports what it finds.
What does the word counter count?
It counts the words in the HTML of every public page it can reach: visible text plus words in meta descriptions and SEO tags, because those get translated too. It reports total words, unique words, and the number of pages found, with a page-by-page list you can copy or download as TXT or CSV.
Why might the real number be higher?
The scan only sees public pages it can reach within a time limit. Pages behind a login, content loaded later by scripts, and very large sites can add words the scan does not find, so treat the result as a starting estimate.
How do I turn the word count into a translation budget?
ConveyThis plans are sized by translated words across all languages, so multiply your word count by the number of languages you want. The free translation cost calculator does that for you and shows the smallest plan that fits.
Does every counted word use my ConveyThis plan right away?
No. Words are only counted when a visitor switches language and translated content is shown. Pages nobody opens in another language do not use words, so the word count is the most your site can use, not what it will use on day one.
