About this tool

The Keyword Density Checker analyzes any block of text and reveals how often each word appears, expressed both as a raw count and as a percentage of total words. Knowing your keyword density helps you write content that ranks well without over-optimizing, which search engines can penalize.

The tool filters out common stop words (like "the", "is", "at") so you see only the meaningful terms. You can adjust the minimum word length and the number of results shown to focus on exactly the keywords that matter for your page.

Frequently asked questions

What is keyword density?

Keyword density is the percentage of times a specific word appears in a piece of content relative to the total word count. A density of 1% means a word appears once per 100 words. Most SEO experts recommend keeping your target keyword between 1% and 3%.

What is a good keyword density for SEO?

Generally, aim for 1-2% density for your primary keyword. Anything above 3-4% may trigger keyword stuffing penalties from search engines. Natural, reader-first writing tends to hit the right range automatically when you know the ideal figure to target.

What are stop words?

Stop words are common words like "the", "is", "and", "at", and "which" that carry little semantic meaning. Search engines largely ignore them when indexing pages. Filtering them out lets you focus on the content words that actually affect your rankings.

Is my content kept private?

Yes. All analysis runs directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your text is never uploaded to any server, making this tool safe to use even with unpublished or confidential content.

Can I export the keyword data?

Yes. Click the "Copy CSV" button after analyzing to copy the full results table as comma-separated values, ready to paste into Excel, Google Sheets, or any data tool.

Do I need to install anything or sign up?

No. The Keyword Density Checker runs entirely in your browser with nothing to download and no account required — just paste your text and analyze.

Does it count single words or phrases?

It counts individual words and reports each one's frequency and density. To gauge a multi-word phrase, look at the density of its most distinctive word and read the results alongside your full copy.

How many words can I analyze?

There is no fixed limit. Articles and long pages of several thousand words analyze instantly because everything is processed locally in your browser.
