How to use the Keyword Density Checker

Analyze the keyword balance of any article in seconds and avoid keyword stuffing.

STEP 01

Paste your text

Drop your article, blog post or page copy into the box. The live word counter updates as you type so you always know your length.

STEP 02

Choose phrase length

Pick single words, two-word or three-word phrases. Multi-word phrases reveal the key terms and long-tail variations you are actually targeting.

STEP 03

Filter stop words

Keep the stop-word filter on to hide filler like "the" and "and", and set a minimum word length so only meaningful keywords are counted.

STEP 04

Read the density

Click Analyze. Aim for a natural density (roughly 1–2% for your main keyword). If a term is far higher, reword to avoid keyword stuffing.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about the Keyword Density Checker.

Keyword density is how often a word or phrase appears in your text as a percentage of the total word count. It helps you confirm your target keyword is present without over-using it. Search engines may see unnaturally high density as keyword stuffing, so a natural balance keeps your content readable and SEO-friendly.

Paste your text into the box, choose whether you want single words or two and three-word phrases, and keep the stop-word filter on to ignore common filler words. Click Analyze and the tool shows your total words, unique words, reading time and a ranked table of keywords with their count and density percentage.

There is no exact rule, but most SEO professionals aim for roughly 1 to 2 percent for a primary keyword and lower for secondary terms. The goal is natural writing, not hitting a number. Use the table to spot any term that dominates the text and reword it if it looks excessive.

Yes. Switch the phrase-length option to two-word or three-word phrases to analyze key phrases and long-tail keywords instead of single words. This is useful for finding the exact multi-word terms your content emphasises.

No. The keyword density checker runs entirely in your browser. Your text is never sent to a server or saved, so it is completely private and works even with sensitive or unpublished content.
