How do you count word frequency in text?
Words are split on spaces and punctuation, optionally lower-cased, then counted and ranked from most to least frequent, with each word's share of the total shown as a percentage. For example, in "The cat sat. The cat ran." the word "the" appears most often. This helps spot over-used words and gauge keyword density for SEO.
