Keyword Density Checker

What keyword density means

Keyword density is how often a word or phrase appears in your text compared with the total word count. If a phrase appears 10 times in a 1,000 word article, its density is 1 percent. Keyword ratio and keyword stuffing checks are the same idea: they show you when one phrase is repeated so often that the writing reads badly.

How to use this checker

Paste your article, product description or page copy into the box and run the check. You will see the most used words and phrases with their counts and percentages. Look for any phrase that dominates the list. If your main keyword sits at about 1 to 2 percent and reads naturally, you are fine. If it is far higher, rewrite some sentences with synonyms or plain wording.

A quick example

A 500 word page about “wordpress speed” that uses the phrase 25 times has a density of 5 percent. That reads like stuffing. Cutting it to 6 or 7 mentions and adding related terms such as caching, hosting and image size makes the page clearer for readers and for Google.

Keyword density FAQs

Is there an ideal keyword density? There is no official number. Google does not rank on a target percentage. Aim for natural writing that covers the topic fully, with your main phrase in the title, the first paragraph and a few headings.

Does this tool store my text? No. The check runs in your browser and your text is not sent anywhere.

What counts as keyword stuffing? Repeating a phrase so often that sentences sound forced. If you would not say it that way out loud, rewrite it.

Should I check every page? Check any page you are trying to rank, especially older ones that were written with a keyword target in mind.
