About

The Keyword Density Analyzer measures how often specific words or phrases appear in your text relative to the total word count. In the early days of SEO, a high density (keyword stuffing) was a ranking signal. Today, search engines like Google prefer natural language, typically favoring a keyword density between 1% and 3%.

This tool helps you balance your content. It identifies your primary keywords to ensure the search engine understands your topic, while simultaneously warning you if you have overused a term, which could trigger spam filters.

Formulas

Densitykw = (Countkw / TotalWords) × 100%

The calculation excludes common 'stop words' (like 'a', 'the', 'of') to reveal the topical relevance of substantive terms. The tool generates n-grams (1-word, 2-word phrases) to detect repeated long-tail keywords.
