Keyword Density Checker
See which words and phrases a page repeats most, and how often your target keyword actually appears.
No sign-up. We read the live page for you. Nothing is stored.
What you get
- The most repeated one, two and three word phrases
- How often your target keyword appears
- Whether it appears in the first 100 words
- Density as a share of all words
- The most frequent one, two and three word phrases in the page’s main content, leaving out navigation, footers and scripts.
- How many times your target keyword appears as an exact phrase, and what share of all words that is.
- Where the target keyword first appears, and whether that is within the first 100 words.
- Phrases that start or end with words such as “the” or “of” are skipped, so the list shows terms you could actually target.
How to use the Keyword Density Checker
Enter a URL or paste text
For a live page we read the main content only. For a draft, paste the text and nothing leaves your browser.
Add your target keyword
The phrase the page should rank for. We count exact matches, ignoring case.
Read the phrases, not just the number
If your top phrases are not the topic you meant, rewrite the opening and the headings before worrying about percentages.
Why check keyword density at all
There is no magic percentage.
Google does not reward a target density. What matters is that the page clearly covers its topic, and a frequency count shows whether it does.
Repetition reads as stuffing.
When one phrase is several percent of every word, the copy reads as written for a machine. Readers leave, and Google’s spam policies name keyword stuffing directly.
The phrases you repeat are your topic.
The top two and three word phrases are what the page is really about. If they are not the phrases you meant to target, the page is aimed somewhere else.
Say it early.
Readers and search engines both decide what a page covers from its opening. A target phrase that first appears halfway down is a weak signal.
What to do with the result
Keyword density is a diagnostic, not a target: it tells you what a page is actually about, as measured by what it repeats. Use it to catch the two real problems, a target phrase that barely appears and one repeated so often it reads as stuffing. Content Scoring checks keyword coverage, readability and structure together, live in the editor, so the balance is right before the page ships.
Content ScoringFrequently asked questions
There is no ideal number, and Google has said it does not use one. Most well-written pages land somewhere around 0.5 to 2 percent for their main phrase simply by covering the topic. Above about 3 percent, copy usually starts to read as repetitive.
