What Is Keyword Density?
Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword or phrase appears on a page compared to the total word count. It helps you gauge whether your content is naturally optimized for target keywords without over-stuffing. A density between 1% and 3% is generally considered healthy for primary keywords.
How to Use This Tool
Paste your article text into the input field. The tool instantly calculates the frequency and density of every word and phrase. Use the phrase-length buttons to switch between single words, two-word phrases, and three-word phrases. Common stop words (the, a, is, are, etc.) are automatically filtered out so you can focus on meaningful terms.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a good keyword density?
There is no magic number, but most SEO professionals recommend keeping primary keyword density between 1% and 3%. More important than hitting a specific percentage is writing naturally and covering the topic thoroughly.
Why are stop words filtered out?
Stop words like "the," "a," "is," and "are" appear in almost every sentence and carry little SEO value. Filtering them out lets you focus on the meaningful keywords that search engines associate with your topic.
Does keyword density still matter for SEO?
Modern search engines use semantic analysis rather than simple keyword counting. However, keyword density remains a useful diagnostic tool to spot keyword stuffing or to confirm that your primary terms appear often enough to signal relevance.
