This is broken in several ways, especially -r -l1 which will get any
linked pages as well.  This will give a very wrong answer if you have
a short index of rfc*.txt, for example.  ;-)

wget -O - -p $url | wc

looks like a winner to me.

           Actually, to download
           a single page and all its requisites (even if they
           exist on separate websites), and make sure the lot
           displays properly locally, this author likes to use a
           few options in addition to -p:

                   wget -E -H -k -K -p http://I<site>/I<document>
