Paragraph FAQs
How long should a blog paragraph be?
Aim for an average near 70 words and keep every paragraph under 100. Short blocks read faster on mobile and hold attention longer.
Do short paragraphs help SEO?
Indirectly — scannable pages earn longer visits and fewer bounces, which supports rankings. Search engines also quote tight paragraphs more easily.
Does this tool change my text?
No. It only scores pasted text or HTML in your browser and maps which paragraphs to split. You edit in your own CMS or doc afterward.
