About this tool
The keyword density checker shows which words and phrases your content uses most and how often, as a percentage of all words. Switch between single words, two-word and three-word phrases, hide common words like "the" and "and", and add a target keyword to see how many times it appears, its density and whether it appears in the first paragraph, with plain advice about keyword stuffing.
How to use Keyword Density Checker
- Paste your article, page copy or blog post.
- Optionally, enter the keyword you want the page to rank for.
- Switch between 1, 2 and 3-word phrases and review the density table and the target keyword advice.
Worked example
In a 600-word article about coffee grinders, the phrase "coffee grinder" appearing 9 times is a density of 3%. The checker flags that as possible stuffing, suggesting variations like "burr grinder" or "grinding beans" instead.
What is a good keyword density?
There is no ideal number. Most SEO experts suggest writing naturally; a main keyword often ends up around 0.5–2%. Very high densities can look spammy to readers and search engines.
What is keyword stuffing?
Repeating a keyword unnaturally to try to rank higher. Google treats it as spam, so it can hurt your rankings rather than help.
Why check two- and three-word phrases?
Most searches are phrases, not single words. Phrase density shows which topics your content actually covers.
