Frequently asked questions
How does the character and word counter work?+
As you type or paste text into the box, LinkMeow's character counter recalculates characters with spaces, characters without spaces, words, sentences, paragraphs, and estimated reading and speaking times instantly in your browser.
What is the character limit for X (formerly Twitter)?+
Standard X (Twitter) posts have a limit of 280 characters. Our tool includes an active preset with a live progress bar so you never exceed the limit before posting.
What are the recommended SEO title and meta description lengths?+
Google typically displays the first 50 to 60 characters of a title tag (or up to 600 pixels) and up to 155 to 160 characters for a meta description. Staying within these limits ensures your search snippets do not get truncated.
How is reading time and speaking time estimated?+
Reading time is calculated based on an average adult silent reading speed of 225 words per minute. Speaking time is based on an average conversational presentation pace of 130 words per minute.
Is my text saved or sent to any server?+
No. All counting, text transformations, and keyword analysis happen entirely inside your browser using client-side JavaScript. Your confidential content is never uploaded or saved.
