Page token count: how many tokens is this page?
Our page token count estimates the tokens in one page two ways, characters divided by 4 and words times 1.33, for the extracted main text and for the full HTML. It also shows how much of the visible text is boilerplate outside the main text, and how much of the HTML is markup.
We read robots.txt before anything else and follow it, then read your page within eight seconds: up to three redirects, each checked again and each to a public HTTPS address, and at most 1.5 MB. HTTPS websites are supported; other addresses are refused.
No email is needed; runs are limited per network and per day, and by the site's daily allowance.
We do not save your website, company name, page content or result. We keep daily totals and hashed network counters to enforce limits. A shared result stays in its link, not on our server.
What we check and why
Two published methods
Characters divided by 4 and words times 1.33, each rounded up. Systems that read pages each split text their own way, so we show two simple methods side by side rather than one exact-looking number.
Main text and full HTML
The main text is what the page is for. The full HTML adds tags, scripts and styles, which can multiply the count.
Boilerplate share
Visible text outside the main text, such as menus and footers, as a share of all visible text, by characters.
Markup share
Everything in the HTML that is not visible text, as a share of the HTML, by characters.
Questions
Why estimate tokens instead of counting them exactly?
Each system splits text with its own tokenizer, so an exact count from one does not carry to another. Fixed, published approximations let you compare pages and versions consistently.
Does a lower token count help my page appear in AI answers?
Not on its own. A leaner page is quicker to read and keeps menus and footers from crowding the main text, but whether an engine names you depends on what the page says and on other sources. Measuring that takes real buyer questions.
What counts as boilerplate?
Visible text outside the main text: everything outside the main element when the page has one, else the header, navigation, footer, aside and forms.
