Keyword Density Checker

You wrote the draft, you know the target phrase, and now you're wondering if you leaned on it too hard. This keyword density checker counts every meaningful word in your text and shows what share of the total each one claims, so you can spot an overused term before an editor or an algorithm does. Paste text straight in, or point the keyword density tool at a live URL and it pulls the page's title, meta description, and headings for analysis. Content writers use it as a final pass on blog posts, and SEOs treat it as a keyword frequency analyzer when reverse engineering a competitor page that keeps outranking theirs.

How to use

01

Add your source

Paste raw text into the large text box, or enter a page URL and press Analyze URL to pull that page's title, description, and headings automatically.

02

Read the frequency table

The table lists up to 30 terms with three columns: Keyword, Count, and Density. Words under three characters and common stop words are excluded from the math.

03

Trim the outliers

Look for any single term claiming a suspicious share of the text. Rewrite the sentences around it, then paste the revision back in and compare the numbers.

Why Keyword Density Checker

Common questions

How does the keyword density checker calculate the percentage?
It divides each word's count by the total number of counted words, then multiplies by 100. Stop words like 'the' and 'and' are removed first, so the denominator only includes meaningful terms. That's why percentages here can look slightly higher than tools that count every word.
Can I check keyword density online for a competitor's page?
Yes. Enter the URL and press Analyze URL. The tool fetches that page's title, meta description, and heading text, which is where ranking keywords tend to concentrate anyway.
Does the URL mode analyze the full body text of a page?
No. From a URL it analyzes the title, meta description, and headings only. If you want the whole article measured, copy the body text and paste it into the text box instead.
What keyword density percentage is too high?
There's no official threshold from Google. In practice, a single phrase above 3 percent of a normal article starts reading unnaturally, and anything near 5 percent is a strong stuffing signal. Use the number as a smoke alarm, not a target.
Why don't short words show up in the density results?
The analyzer drops words under three characters and filters a built-in stop word list covering articles, pronouns, and auxiliary verbs. Removing them keeps the table focused on terms that actually describe your topic.
Is the keyword frequency analyzer limited in how many terms it shows?
It displays the top 30 terms sorted by count. If your target phrase isn't anywhere in that list, it's almost certainly not overused.
Can the density table handle multi-word phrases?
The analysis counts single words, so a phrase like 'running shoes' shows up as separate entries for each word. Check both words' counts together to estimate the phrase's footprint.
