Keyword Density Checker
Measure how often your keyword appears in your text and keep your on-page SEO in the safe, natural zone.
Keyword density shows what share of your words is your target phrase — a quick signal of whether your page is well-optimized or stuffed. Paste your article, type the keyword you are targeting, and this analyzer reports total words, exact occurrences and the density percentage, with every match highlighted in context so you can see exactly where it appears.
Note: highlighting shows every case-insensitive match of your exact phrase in context, so you can spot unnatural repetition at a glance.
How to use the Keyword Density Checker
- Paste or type your article text into the large text box.
- Enter the exact keyword or phrase you want to analyze in the target keyword field.
- Click Analyze to see total words, keyword count, density percentage and highlighted matches in your text.
Keyword Density Checker — FAQs
What is a good keyword density?
There is no official number, but most SEOs aim for roughly 1 to 2 percent for a primary keyword — natural enough to read well and clear enough for search engines. Anything consistently above 3 percent starts to look like stuffing. Focus first on writing genuinely helpful content, then use density as a sanity check, not a target.
Does keyword stuffing hurt rankings?
Yes. Repeating a keyword unnaturally to game rankings is against Google's spam policies and can trigger ranking drops or manual penalties. Modern search engines understand synonyms and context, so write for readers first and let related terms appear naturally — that is what actually ranks today.
How does this tool count the keyword?
It scans your text case-insensitively and counts every occurrence of your exact phrase, including inside longer sentences, then divides by the total word count to get the percentage. Matches are highlighted in a preview below the stats so you can review each one in context and spot unnatural repetition.
Is my text uploaded or saved anywhere?
No. The analysis happens entirely inside your browser using local JavaScript. Your article text never leaves your device, is never sent to a server, and is never stored or logged. You can analyze sensitive or unpublished drafts with complete confidence.
