How to Use Keyword Density Checker
- Paste or type your page or article content into the text box.
- Read the live total word count as you edit.

Keyword Density Checker Examples
Audit a blog draft for stuffing
Paste a finished post and check whether your primary keyword sits around a natural 1–2% density. Spikes far above that often read as stuffing.
Find missing focus phrases
Switch to 2-word or 3-word mode. If your target phrase never appears (or appears once in 2,000 words), add it naturally in the intro, an H2, and the conclusion.
Compare product page copy
Paste competing product descriptions side by side (one at a time) and note which benefit phrases dominate - then balance your own page without copying.

Frequently Asked Questions about Keyword Density Checker
- What is keyword density?
- Keyword density is how often a word or phrase appears relative to the total word count, usually shown as a percentage. For example, a term used 10 times in a 1,000-word article has 1% density. It is a quick health check for focus and overuse - not a ranking formula by itself.
- What is a good keyword density?
- There is no official Google target. Most editors aim for a natural feel - often roughly 0.5–2% for a primary keyword in longer articles - and prioritize clear writing over hitting an exact number. If the page sounds repetitive, density is too high regardless of the percentage.
- Does keyword density affect SEO rankings?
- Modern search engines look at relevance, intent, and quality far more than raw density. Extreme stuffing can hurt readability and trust. Use this tool to stay on-topic and avoid overuse, then focus on helpful structure, unique value, and matching search intent.
- How are words and phrases counted?
- Text is lowercased and punctuation is stripped, then split on whitespace. Density is (occurrences ÷ total words) × 100. In 2-word or 3-word mode, overlapping consecutive phrases are counted the same way against the same total word count.
- Should I filter common stop words?
- This checker shows all tokens so you can see the full picture (including words like "the" or "and"). When optimizing, focus on meaningful keywords and phrases - not stop words - and use 2- or 3-word mode to surface real topics.
- Is my content uploaded anywhere?
- No. Analysis runs entirely in your browser. Drafts and confidential copy never leave your device, so it is safe for unpublished posts and client work.
