About Keyword Density Checker
Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword appears in your content relative to the total word count. SEO professionals use it to ensure content is optimized without over-stuffing keywords.
How to Use
- Paste your content into the textarea above.
- Choose whether to ignore common stop words.
- Set the minimum word length to filter out very short words.
- Click "Analyze Keywords" to see the frequency table.
- Keywords are color-coded: green (1-3% — ideal), yellow (3-5% — borderline), red (over 5% — over-stuffed).
How It Works
The tool counts every word in your text (ignoring stop words if selected), calculates density as (count / total words) × 100%, and displays the top 20 keywords sorted by frequency.
FAQ
Most SEO experts recommend a keyword density of 1-3% for primary keywords. Densities above 5% may be seen as keyword stuffing by search engines and could negatively impact rankings.
Modern SEO focuses more on semantic relevance and content quality than precise keyword density. Write naturally for your audience, and use this tool to check you are not over-stuffing specific terms.
Stop words are common function words like "the", "a", "is", "in", "and" that carry little semantic meaning. Filtering them out helps you see the meaningful keywords in your content.
