About Keyword Density Analyzer

Keyword density used to be the single most important SEO signal: more mentions of the target keyword meant higher rankings. Modern Google relies on semantic understanding rather than raw counts, but density still matters as a diagnostic tool. It tells you whether your content actually focuses on the topic you think it does, whether you're accidentally stuffing the same phrase 20 times, or whether a related phrase you didn't think of is dominating the content.

This analyzer extracts the top 20 most-frequent 1-, 2-, and 3-word phrases (n-grams) and shows their occurrence counts and density percentages side by side. The stopword filter removes common low-value words ('the', 'and', 'of', etc.) by default so the rankings reflect meaningful terms. Adjust the minimum occurrence threshold to filter out one-off rarities. Healthy density for a primary keyword in long-form content is roughly 1–3%; anything above 5% reads as stuffing. All analysis runs locally — your content stays on your device.

How to use

  1. 1

    Paste your content

    Drop a draft article, product description, or page copy into the editor. Analysis updates live.

  2. 2

    Read the three columns

    Single words (1-grams), two-word phrases (2-grams), three-word phrases (3-grams). Each shows term, occurrence count, and density percentage.

  3. 3

    Toggle stopwords if needed

    By default, common stopwords (the, and, of, …) are filtered out. Turn off the filter to see them in the rankings — useful for sanity-checking total word count.

  4. 4

    Set the minimum occurrence threshold

    Drag the slider to filter out one-off terms. Default of 2 hides everything that appears only once.

Examples

Top 1-gram

Output

Top 2-gram

Output

'free tools' — appears 5 times — 2.6% density

Top 3-gram

Output

'free tools grid' — appears 3 times — 1.6% density

Frequently asked questions

What's a healthy keyword density?+

Around 1–3% for primary keywords in long-form content. Below 1% suggests your content isn't focused on the topic. Above 5% reads as keyword stuffing and risks Google's anti-spam filters.

Why is keyword density less important now?+

Modern Google uses BERT, MUM, and other semantic-understanding models that recognize topical relevance through related terms, synonyms, and context — not just raw keyword counts. Density is now a diagnostic, not a ranking lever. Optimize for whether the content covers the topic well, not for whether you hit a magic count.

Are stopwords always safe to filter?+

For density analysis, yes — they'd otherwise dominate every result. But stopwords matter for some queries; if you're checking whether 'how to do X' appears in your content, you need them. Toggle the filter accordingly.

Why are 2-grams and 3-grams useful?+

They reveal phrase-level focus that single-word counts can't show. 'Image compression' (a likely target keyword) might appear 10 times even when 'image' alone appears 30 times in unrelated contexts. The 2-gram column surfaces the real phrase emphasis.

Is my content sent anywhere?+

No. Tokenization and n-gram counting run entirely in your browser.
