Keyword Density Checker

Keyword density — how often a term appears relative to total word count — stopped being a ranking formula years ago; modern search engines understand topics, not tallies. But the analysis is still genuinely useful, just for a different reason: it shows you what your content is actually about versus what you intended it to be about. Writers are routinely surprised — the target keyword appears twice while some filler phrase appears fourteen times.

Paste your draft and get two tables: top single keywords and top two-word phrases, each with its count and density percentage. Common English stopwords (the, and, of, to…) are filtered automatically so the tables surface meaningful terms instead of grammar. Anything above 3% density gets flagged — not because an algorithm will penalize the number itself, but because that level of repetition usually reads as repetitive to humans, and unnatural keyword stuffing is something search engines do demote.

The practical workflow: paste the draft, check that your target keyword and its close variants appear prominently in the phrases table (if they don't, the content isn't really about what you think it is), and check that nothing unintended dominates. Analysis runs live in your browser as you type — unpublished drafts and client content never leave your device.
