FAQ
Keyword Density Checker questions.
What is a good keyword density?
There is no exact target. Modern search engines read meaning, not ratios. Aim for natural writing, usually under 2 to 3 percent for any single keyword, and use related terms rather than repeating one phrase.
What counts as keyword stuffing?
Repeating a keyword unnaturally to manipulate rankings. If one phrase dominates your page far above everything else, it can read as spam to both users and search engines. The tool flags any word or phrase used 3 or more times at over 3% density, once your text is at least 100 words long.
Does it ignore common words?
By default, yes. Stop words like the, and, of and to are hidden from the ranked lists so you see the terms that describe your content. Untick Hide stop words to include them.
Is the text sent to a server?
No. Analysis happens locally in your browser. Nothing you paste is uploaded.
