About the Keyword Density Checker

Check how often each word and phrase appears in your article so you can avoid over-using keywords and make sure your topic is covered naturally.

How to use the Keyword Density Checker

  1. Paste your article or blog post.
  2. Press Check Keyword Density to see the most frequent words and phrases with their percentages.
  3. Use Export Keyword Report to save the results.

Formula and method

Keyword density (%) = (times the keyword appears ÷ total words) × 100

Worked example

If "loan calculator" appears 8 times in a 800-word article, its density is 8 ÷ 800 × 100 = 1%.

When to use the Keyword Density Checker

  • Seeing which words your article repeats the most.
  • Checking that your target keyword appears naturally.
  • Spotting over-optimised text before you publish.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Chasing a specific density percentage. Search engines do not use a fixed target.
  • Repeating a keyword unnaturally. It hurts readability and can hurt rankings.

Tips

  • There is no ideal density. Write naturally for readers and use variations of the keyword.
  • Repeating a keyword unnaturally (keyword stuffing) can hurt your rankings.
  • Use the report to spot filler words and important terms you have missed.
