## Beschrijving

Post Admin Word Count adds a sortable “Words” column to the WordPress admin for 
all public post types. This lightweight plugin automatically calculates and stores
word counts when posts are saved or viewed in the admin, ensuring performance and
accuracy without scanning your entire site. It supports custom post types, integrates
cleanly with the WordPress admin UI and adheres to modern coding standards. Ideal
for publishers, bloggers and content editors who want quick insight into post length
directly from the dashboard.
