Check keyword density
Paste a draft and see the share of the text each word and phrase takes up, so you can spot stuffing and gaps before publishing.
Keyword density is the number of times a term appears divided by the total word count. There is no magic number; one to two percent for a main term is typical in natural writing, and anything above three or four percent starts to read as stuffed. Use the two-word and three-word views to check the phrases people actually search for, and the readability tab to make sure the page stays easy to read.
How to check keyword density
- Paste the draft. Headings included.
- Read the density table. Words, two-word and three-word phrases with counts and percentages.
- Check readability. The scores tab shows the grade level and highlights the sentences that drag.

Questions people ask
What keyword density should I aim for?
Write for readers first. A main term appearing naturally in the title, first paragraph and a few headings is enough; density above three or four percent tends to hurt more than help.
Does the checker see headings differently?
No, it counts all words equally. It is a plain-text tool, not a crawler.
