Frequently asked questions
How is reading time calculated?
Reading time uses an average of 200 words per minute, a common estimate for adult silent reading.
Does the character count include spaces?
Both are shown — characters with spaces and characters without spaces — so you can use whichever a platform requires.
Why do meta title and description limits matter?
Search engines truncate titles around 60 characters and descriptions around 155. Staying under keeps your snippet from being cut off in results.
