Keyword Density Checker

What does Keyword Density Checker do?

Keyword Density Checker counts how often words and phrases appear in a text and shows each as a percentage of all words. It lists the most frequent single words, two-word and three-word phrases, can ignore common words such as "the" and "and", and reports how often a focus keyword you enter is used.

How to use Keyword Density Checker

1. Paste the text of your article or page.
2. Optionally type a focus keyword and choose whether to ignore common words.
3. Press Check density.
4. Switch between the 1, 2 and 3 word tabs to see the top phrases.

When is it useful?

• Checking that an article really covers its main topic.
• Spotting words you repeat too often.
• Comparing your text with a competitor's page.

Example

In a 500-word article where "pdf merger" appears 6 times, the focus keyword density is 6 ÷ 500 = 1.20%.

Good to know

• There is no ideal keyword density. Write for readers first; stuffing keywords can hurt rankings.
• Common words are ignored at the start and end of phrases when the option is ticked.
• Your text is analysed in your browser and never uploaded.
