Keyword Density Checker

Counts the most frequent words and phrases in a text or URL — stop words removed, with one-, two- and three-word lists.

Stop words (the, and, for...) are excluded so the result reflects the real topic.

What this tool does

It reads a text or a page and counts the most frequent single words, two-word and three-word phrases, showing the percentage for each. Stop words (the, and, for, with…) are excluded so the list reflects the real topic.

When you provide a URL, only the main content block is read — navigation, footer and scripts are ignored.

Important: there is no "correct percentage"

This is the most persistent SEO myth. Google does not use keyword density as a ranking factor, and no "ideal 2%" exists. Repeating a keyword artificially (keyword stuffing) is in fact a spam policy violation.

So what is this tool for?Read density as a mirror, not a target. The question is: do the most frequent phrases describe what the page is actually about? If the top phrase on an SEO services page is "contact us", the text has lost its focus.

How to use it properly

  • Topic check: look at the two- and three-word lists — they show what the page is about. If the topic you expect is missing, the content is unfocused.
  • Competitor comparison: run the page currently ranking first for your query. Phrases they have and you do not reveal your content gaps.
  • Repetition detection: an unnaturally high count for one phrase hurts readability.
  • Semantic coverage: check that related concepts appear too — see semantic SEO.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ideal keyword density?

There isn't one. Google does not use density as a ranking factor. In naturally written text the main phrase usually lands between 0.5% and 2%, but that is an outcome, not a target.

How many times should I use the keyword?

As often as the text reads naturally. A more useful approach is covering every sub-question of the topic: semantic keyword research.

Why are some words missing from the results?

Stop words and words shorter than three letters are excluded from the single-word list — otherwise the top of the list would always be "the", "and", "for".

How long should the text be?

It depends on the query. Word count is not a ranking factor — write as much as covering the topic requires. Competitor length is a reasonable reference point.
