About the Keyword Density Checker
This keyword density checker counts every word in your text and lists the most frequent single words, two-word and three-word phrases with their share of the total. Enter a focus phrase to see exactly how many times it appears, along with the overall word count and estimated reading time.
The main use is spotting extremes. If one phrase dominates the list, the copy may read as repetitive or stuffed; if your main topic barely appears, the page may not make its subject clear. Google has never published an ideal keyword density, so do not edit text to hit a percentage. Instead, use natural wording, related terms and clear headings. Text is analyzed in your browser and stays on your device.
How to use it
- Paste your article or page copy into the text box.
- Optionally enter a focus keyword or phrase.
- Review the top one-, two- and three-word phrases and their density.
- Rewrite sentences where a phrase is repeated unnaturally.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good keyword density?
There is no number Google recommends. Some SEO guides suggest 1–2%, but that is a rule of thumb, not a ranking rule. Write for readers first, make sure the main topic is clear in the title, headings and opening, and avoid repeating the same phrase where a pronoun or synonym would read better.
Does keyword stuffing hurt SEO?
Yes. Google's spam policies list keyword stuffing, filling a page with keywords in an unnatural way, as a practice that can cause a page to rank lower or not appear. Repetitive text also reads poorly, which can drive visitors away.
Why check two- and three-word phrases?
Single-word counts are often dominated by generic words. Two- and three-word phrases show the actual topics a text focuses on, such as "home loan interest" rather than "loan", which makes it easier to see whether the copy matches the search terms you are targeting.
