What is the Keyword Density Checker?
Keyword density is the percentage of times a target keyword appears in your text relative to the total word count. This free online tool measures it instantly: paste your article or page copy, enter your keyword, and get the total word count, the number of occurrences, and the density percentage. It also builds a top-10 table of your most frequent words (ignoring common stopwords) so you can spot overused terms at a glance.
How to use it
- Paste your text into the box — a blog draft, product description, or page copy.
- Enter your target keyword (single words and phrases both work).
- Click “Analyze” to see occurrences, density, and the top-10 word table.
- Revise your copy if the density looks unnaturally high or low.
Key features
- Exact keyword occurrences with case-insensitive matching.
- Density shown as a precise percentage of total words.
- Top-10 most frequent words table with counts and percentages.
- Automatic stopword filtering so “the” and “and” do not dominate the table.
- Multi-word keyword phrases supported; fully private, no sign-up.
Real-world use cases
SEO writers check that target keywords appear naturally without stuffing. Content editors audit freelance submissions for over-optimization. Bloggers discover which terms they repeat unconsciously. Students analyze word choice in essays.
Practical tips
- Aim for roughly 1–2% density — enough to signal topic relevance without sounding robotic.
- Watch the top-10 table for accidental repetition of filler words and synonyms of your keyword.
- Use keyword variations naturally; exact-match repetition is what triggers stuffing penalties.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good keyword density?
Around 1 to 2% is a widely cited natural range. There is no official target from Google — write for readers first and use this tool to catch accidental overuse.
What is keyword stuffing?
Keyword stuffing is repeating a keyword unnaturally often to manipulate rankings. Search engines penalize it, and readers find it unpleasant. If your density is above 3 to 4%, rewrite for variety.
Can I check a phrase like “web design services”?
Yes. Multi-word keywords are counted as exact phrase matches, case-insensitively.
Why are common words missing from the top-10 table?
The table filters out stopwords like “the”, “and”, and “of”, plus words shorter than three letters, so meaningful content words surface instead.
Is my text uploaded anywhere?
No. The analysis runs entirely in your browser and your text never leaves your device.
