02 / Inside WordPress
Word frequency counter controls in Elementor
Content sets how many words are listed, the shortest word counted, whether numbers count, the common words to leave out and whether visitors can switch that, the input limit, and every label and message. The Style tab covers the text area, the results (summary, table, share bars), labels and the Clear button.
03 / Website use cases
Where to use word frequency counter
Writers, students and shop owners often want to know which words they overuse or whether a keyword appears often enough, but online counters send their text to someone else's server. Word frequency counter runs on your own page: visitors paste text and see the total, the number of different words and a table of the most-used words with counts and share bars, updated as they type. Common words can be left out, and nothing is sent anywhere.

08 / Common setup problems
Troubleshoot word frequency counter
Check these settings if the published page behaves differently from the editor.
Why is “the” not listed?
Common words are left out. Untick the switch or edit the Common words list.
Why was my text shortened?
It passed the input limit. Raise the limit in the Counting section.
Are “Café” and “café” counted together?
Yes. Counting ignores capital letters.
Does it split Chinese or Japanese text?
Only where words are separated by spaces or punctuation.
Word frequency counter plugin questions
Does it need Elementor Pro?
No. It works with the free version of Elementor.
Is the text sent anywhere?
No. Counting happens in the visitor's browser and nothing is saved.
Can I use it for other languages?
Yes. It counts letters in any script; replace the common words with your language's.
Is it accessible?
Yes. The text area is labelled, the summary is announced, and the results are a proper table.
Does it need JavaScript?
Yes. Without it a short message is shown instead.
