Frequently Asked Questions

How does the paragraph counter detect paragraphs?

Paragraphs are detected by double line breaks — a blank line between blocks of text. Single line breaks within the same block are not counted as new paragraphs.

Why does paragraph count matter for SEO?

Well-structured content with clear paragraphs improves readability scores, reduces bounce rate, and makes it easier for Google to parse your content structure.

What is the ideal paragraph length for a blog?

For online reading, keep paragraphs to 2–4 sentences or 40–80 words. This makes content much easier to scan on mobile devices.

Does it count empty paragraphs?

No. Blank lines with no text content are not counted as paragraphs.

Is my text private?

Yes. Everything runs locally in your browser — no text is ever uploaded.
