About Keyword Density Checker
Keyword density measures how often a term appears relative to total word count. It is useful as a diagnostic for spotting accidental repetition or a topic you have underserved, but it is not a ranking factor — modern search engines evaluate meaning and context rather than counting words.
How to use
- Paste your article or page copy.
- Review the most frequent words and phrases.
- Look for terms repeated unnaturally often.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good keyword density?
There is no target worth chasing. Anything above roughly 3% usually reads as repetitive to a human, which is the real problem. Write naturally and use the figure only to catch accidents.
Does keyword stuffing still work?
No. It has been penalised for many years and now harms rankings rather than helping them. Search engines match intent and synonyms, so repeating an exact phrase adds nothing.
