Keyword Density Checker

There is no perfect target, but a natural density of roughly 1–2% for your main keyword is a common guideline. Much higher can look like keyword stuffing, which search engines may penalise.

Density = (number of times a keyword or phrase appears ÷ total words) × 100. The tool tokenises your text, optionally removes common stop words, then counts single words and two and three-word phrases.

If “running shoes” appears 6 times in a 600-word article, its density is 6 ÷ 600 × 100 = 1%.

1. Paste your article or page copy.
2. Choose whether to ignore common stop words.
3. Review the keyword and phrase tables and density percentages.

• Chasing an exact density number instead of writing naturally for readers.
• Forgetting that very short text gives misleadingly high percentages.

The Keyword Density Checker analyses your text and shows how often each word and phrase appears, along with its density as a percentage of the total. It counts single keywords plus two and three-word phrases so you can see what your content is really about.
