Keyword tools help you understand the language on a page: which words and phrases it uses most, and whether they match the topic the page is meant to cover. They are useful when you are editing a draft, refreshing an older article or working out why a page reads as repetitive.
Available now
- Keyword Density Checker analyzes a live URL or pasted text. It counts the total words and lists the most frequent single words and 2- and 3-word phrases, each with a count and a density percentage. For URLs, it also shows whether the top phrases appear in the title, meta description and H1.
Use the numbers carefully
Keyword density is an old idea in SEO, and it is often misunderstood. Google has said keyword density is not a ranking factor, and there is no percentage to aim for. Google's spam policies do treat keyword stuffing, meaning repeating keywords to manipulate rankings, as spam. The value of a density tool is in spotting problems: a term repeated far more than a person would naturally use it, or a page that barely mentions the subject it is supposed to cover. Our article on the keyword density myth explains the background.
A simple workflow
- Paste your draft into the Keyword Density Checker before you publish.
- Rewrite passages where one word or phrase dominates the lists.
- After publishing, check the live URL to confirm your main phrases appear in the title and H1.
- Review the title and description lengths with the Meta Tag Checker.

Frequently asked questions
What is a good keyword density?
There is no ideal number. Write naturally for your reader, cover the topic thoroughly and use the checker to catch accidental repetition.
Can I check text before it is published?
Yes. The Keyword Density Checker accepts pasted text as well as live URLs. The title, description and H1 placement checks need a live URL.
Does using my keyword more often help my rankings?
No. Repeating a keyword to reach a percentage does not help, and heavy repetition can make a page harder to read and may be treated as keyword stuffing.
