Keyword density is the percentage of times a specific word or phrase appears relative to the total word count of a page. It was once treated as a precise SEO target, but modern search engines rely far more on relevance, context, and search intent than on exact keyword ratios.
Even so, checking density helps you spot two real problems: keyword stuffing that reads unnaturally and looks spammy, and keyword under-use where a page never clearly signals what it's actually about.
There is no universally "correct" density — most modern SEO guidance favors natural, readable content over hitting a specific percentage.
There's no fixed correct number, but many writers aim for their focus keyword to appear naturally, often somewhere in the 0.5%-2% range, without forcing it. Readability should always come before hitting a percentage.
Not directly in the way it once did. Search engines now prioritize topical relevance, search intent, and natural language over exact keyword ratios, but extreme keyword stuffing can still hurt rankings and trust.
This tool analyzes text you paste directly, so copy the visible body content from your page (not the HTML) for the most accurate word count.
Those are stopwords that appear in almost all writing and add no SEO signal. Excluding them surfaces the meaningful, topic-relevant words instead.
