Keyword Density Checker

See how often each word or phrase repeats on a page.

What Keyword Density Checker does

Keyword Density Checker analyzes a block of text and reports how often each word and phrase repeats, broken down into single words, two-word phrases and three-word phrases. It's the fastest way to spot whether a page leans too hard on one phrase โ€” or barely uses it at all.

Everything is calculated in your browser the moment you select Analyze. Nothing is uploaded, which makes it safe to paste drafts that haven't been published yet.

How to check keyword density

  1. Paste the page content you want to analyze into the text box.
  2. Select Analyze.
  3. Review the three tables: the most repeated single words, two-word phrases, and three-word phrases, each with a count and percentage of the total text.

What counts as a stop word

Common connecting words โ€” "the", "and", "is", "with", and similar โ€” are filtered out of the single-word table so the results surface meaningful terms rather than a list dominated by function words. Two- and three-word phrases are built from the raw, unfiltered text, which is where genuinely repeated keyword phrases tend to show up clearly.

Using the results

There's no single "correct" density to aim for โ€” modern search engines read for topical coverage, not a target percentage. Use the breakdown as a diagnostic: a phrase that dominates the top of every table is worth varying with synonyms, while a target phrase that barely appears at all may be worth working in more naturally.

Veelgestelde vragen

Does this tool upload or store the text I paste in?

No โ€” the analysis runs entirely in your browser with JavaScript; nothing is sent to a server or saved anywhere.

What's a healthy keyword density to aim for?

There's no fixed target. A phrase clustered unnaturally in one spot is a stronger warning sign than any single percentage โ€” use the breakdown to spot clustering and over-repetition, not to hit a number.

Why are common words like 'the' and 'and' missing from the single-word table?

They're filtered out as stop words since they appear in almost all text and would otherwise crowd out the meaningful terms you're actually trying to check.

Can I check a whole article, or just a paragraph?

Either โ€” paste as much or as little text as you want to analyze; there's no minimum length.

Does this account for synonyms or related terms?

No โ€” it counts exact word and phrase matches only. It won't group 'running shoes' and 'running shoe' together, or recognize a synonym as related to your main term.
