Does the analysis count Unicode characters?

Yes, the tool counts Unicode characters correctly, treating each grapheme cluster (including emoji and combined characters) as a single character. This gives you an accurate count regardless of the language or script used.

What metrics are included?

The analysis provides a comprehensive set of metrics such as character count, word count, sentence count, paragraph count, and reading time estimates. Specific tools may include additional domain-relevant metrics.

Is Certificate Chain Checker free to use?
