Keyword density is hard to eyeball, and it is easy to lean too hard on one term or to let filler words dominate without noticing.
Word Density Checker shows each word as a percentage of the whole text and lets you filter out stop words and short words, so the terms that really carry the page stand out.
How to use Word Density Checker
- Paste your text into the editor to build the density table.
- Toggle stop words off and set a minimum word length to filter the list.
- Read each word as a percentage share and trim anything that dominates.
Use cases
- Checking a target keyword is not overused on a page.
- Finding filler words that crowd out meaningful terms.
- Comparing term emphasis between two drafts.
Good to know
Density is each word count as a share of the total words, which is different from a raw frequency rank. Stop words such as the and and can be excluded, and a minimum length filter hides very short tokens, so the percentages reflect the words that matter rather than function words.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between density and frequency?
Density is a word count as a percentage of the whole text; frequency is just how many times it appears. Density shows relative emphasis.
Can I exclude common words?
Yes. Turn the stop-word filter on to drop words like the and and, and set a minimum length to hide very short tokens.
What is a healthy keyword density?
There is no fixed target; aim for natural writing where no single term dominates, and use the percentages to spot anything that does.
