Check Keyword Density in Your Content
Paste a draft or page content and see its top 20 words by frequency and percentage, right in your browser.
What actually gets counted
Paste your content in and this tool counts every word of 3 or more letters, then lists the 20 most frequent ones with both a raw count and a percentage of total words. It's a simple frequency count — there's no stop-word filtering (so common words like "the" or "and" can show up if they're frequent enough), no stemming ("tool" and "tools" count separately), and no multi-word phrase detection.
Because of that, the raw output is closer to a word-frequency table than a polished SEO keyword report — useful as an input to your own judgment about repetition, not a ranked list of your actual target keywords.

Review checklist
Before
Have the near-final draft ready — density checks are more useful close to publishing than on a rough outline.
After
Look for any word that stands out as unusually high, and read those sections back to see if the repetition feels natural.
When density checking is worth doing
Use it to spot accidental over-repetition in a draft — a word or phrase that shows up far more than intended, often a sign the content reads awkwardly or leans on the same term instead of natural variation.

What the output shows
Top 20 words by frequency
Lists the most common words, each with a count and percentage of the total.
3-letter minimum
Words shorter than 3 letters are excluded from the count.
No stop-word filtering
Common words like "the" or "and" can appear if they're frequent enough — there's no built-in exclusion list.
No phrase or stemming logic
Each word form is counted separately; multi-word phrases aren't detected as a unit.

Where your content goes
Word counting happens directly in your browser as you process the text — nothing you paste is sent to a server.
Reading the results usefully
- Look for words that feel surprisingly high on the list — that's usually more useful than chasing a specific target percentage.
- Remember common words like "the" or "and" aren't filtered out, so scan past them for the words that actually matter.
- Check both singular and plural forms separately, since they're counted as different words.
- Use this as one input among several — search intent and content usefulness matter far more than any density number.
Keyword density mistakes to avoid
Chasing a specific density percentage
There's no ideal keyword density number — natural, useful writing matters more than hitting a target percentage.
Expecting stop words to be filtered
Common words like "the" and "is" can appear in the top 20 if they're frequent enough.
Treating this as phrase-level analysis
The tool counts single words, not multi-word keyword phrases.
Ignoring context for the sake of a number
Repeating a word naturally across a long article isn't the same problem as awkward, forced repetition.
What density can't tell you
Keyword Density Checker is a quick way to spot obvious over-repetition in a draft. It can't tell you whether your content actually satisfies search intent — that judgment still has to come from you.
