What is keyword density?

Keyword density is the percentage of times a word or phrase appears in a text relative to the total word count. If 'dns lookup' appears 12 times in a 600-word article, its density is 2%.

There is no magic density that ranks a page — Google's guidance is to write naturally. The real use of this tool is diagnostic: spotting accidental keyword stuffing (densities above 3–4% read as spammy) and checking that your target phrase actually appears in the copy at all.

Frequently asked questions

What is the ideal keyword density?
There isn't one — Google has confirmed there is no target percentage. Under 1% may mean the topic is unclear; above 3–4% starts reading as keyword stuffing. Write naturally and use this tool as a sanity check.
What are stop words and why filter them?
Stop words are extremely common words like 'the', 'and', 'of' that carry no topical meaning. Filtering them surfaces the terms that actually describe your content.
Why does the tool show two-word phrases?
Most valuable search queries are multi-word. Seeing your top two-word phrases tells you which exact phrases your content emphasises — often more useful than single-word counts.
Is my content uploaded anywhere?
No. The analysis runs entirely in your browser — your draft never leaves your device, so it is safe for unpublished content.
