Keyword Density Checker
See how often your target keywords appear in your content, and spot the most repeated phrases — paste your text or fetch it straight from a URL.
What is keyword density, and does it still matter?
Keyword density is the percentage of your page's words that match a specific keyword or phrase. It was once treated as a precise ranking formula — pages were written to hit an exact percentage.
Modern search engines are far better at understanding meaning and context, so there's no single "correct" density to aim for. This tool is best used to spot patterns — repetition you didn't notice, or a keyword that barely appears at all — rather than to chase a specific number.
How to use this tool

- 2.Optionally enter a target keyword to see its exact count and density.
- 3.Click Analyze to see overall word stats, plus the most frequent single words and two-word phrases.
- 4.Use the results as a sense check — not a target to hit exactly.
Frequently asked questions
What's a good keyword density?
There's no universally correct number. Many writers find somewhere around 1–2% reads naturally, but context matters more than hitting a target — write for people first.
Can high keyword density hurt my SEO?
Yes — repeating a phrase unnaturally (often called keyword stuffing) can make content read badly and is something search engines are designed to recognise and discount.
Does this tool store the content I paste or fetch?
No — analysis happens in your browser. Content fetched from a URL is only used to display in the box above; it isn't saved on our servers.
