Word & phrase frequency
Keyword density stopped being a ranking factor a long time ago, which makes the honest use of this tool a diagnostic one: it tells you what a page is actually about, as opposed to what you meant it to be about. Paste your copy and you get the words and phrases you leaned on most, with the filler words filtered out — which is how you catch a page that mentions its real subject twice and some incidental word fifteen times.
How to check keyword density
- 1
Paste your copy
The article or page text you want to analyse.
- 2
Choose a phrase length
Single words, or two- and three-word phrases. Phrases matter more, because real searches are phrases.
- 3
Read the emphasis
Scan the ranked list to check the page emphasises your actual topic, and to spot anything you have repeated more than you meant to.
Good to know
- There is no correct density to aim for. Search engines stopped weighting it years ago, and writing to hit a percentage reliably produces worse copy.
- Common function words are filtered from single-word results by default, because they are always the most frequent words in any English text.
- Phrases keep their function words, since "how to remove" is a real query shape and dropping the "to" would misrepresent it.
- Density is shown per phrase position, so two- and three-word results are comparable with each other.
What people use it for
- Checking a page emphasises its actual topic rather than an incidental word
- Spotting an overused word or phrase in a draft before publishing
- Comparing the phrasing of your page with the terms people search for
Frequently asked questions
What is a good keyword density?+
There is no target. Search engines have not used density as a ranking signal for many years, and writing to hit a percentage produces worse copy. Use this to check what your page emphasises, not to hit a number.
Why are common words excluded?+
Words like "the" and "and" are always the most frequent in any English text, so including them hides the words that actually describe your topic. You can switch the filter off.
What are two- and three-word phrases for?+
Real searches are usually phrases, not single words. Checking n-grams shows whether the page uses the phrasing people actually search for.
Is my data sent to a server?+
No. Analysing text happens entirely in your browser using built-in web APIs. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or logged.
