The Keyword Density Checker analyses any piece of writing and shows you which words appear most often, how many times each one occurs, and what percentage of the total word count it represents. Density is a core signal in on-page SEO and content editing, and seeing it laid out clearly helps you understand what your text is actually about - and whether any term is over-used to the point of sounding unnatural.
For each keyword the tool reports its raw count and its density as a percentage, sorted from most to least frequent. You can limit the results to the top N words, set a minimum word length to ignore tiny tokens, and toggle a built-in English stop-word list so common filler words like the, and and of do not crowd out the terms that matter. The result is a focused view of your real vocabulary.
Everything runs locally in your browser using JavaScript, so nothing is uploaded and no account is required. Paste your text, adjust the options to suit your content, and read the ranked keyword table with counts and percentages. Because the work happens entirely on your own device, drafts, briefs and client copy stay completely private while you optimise them.

Keyword density is a guide, not a target to chase. Modern search engines understand topics and synonyms, so there is no magic percentage that guarantees rankings. Instead, use the checker to make sure your primary term is clearly present, that related terms support it, and that no single word is repeated so often it reads awkwardly. Natural, well-varied language almost always outperforms text engineered to hit a specific density.
The stop-word toggle changes what the numbers mean. With stop words removed, the percentages are calculated against the full word count but only content words are listed, which surfaces the terms readers actually notice. Turn stop words back on when you want a complete frequency profile - for example, when analysing writing style or comparing filler usage between drafts. Either way, the counts update instantly and privately in your browser.
