About the Character Counter
Character limits are stricter than word limits and easier to breach by accident. This counter shows totals with and without spaces, and measures your text against common limits for titles, meta descriptions, social posts and text messages.
Progress indicators turn amber as you approach a limit and red once you pass it, so you can see the problem before an upload rejects your text.
