Analyze keyword density, focus phrase frequency, and repeated terms in your article or landing page copy.
If this tool isn’t working as expected, please take a screenshot of the error and report the problem here so we can investigate and improve it.
Google has stated for years that keyword density isn't a ranking factor, and no ideal percentage exists - so this tool doesn't aim you at a target range. What it actually does: it splits your text into words, lowercasing each and stripping leading/trailing punctuation (so "SEO," and "seo" count as the same word), then counts how often your focus keyword or phrase appears and computes count ÷ total words × 100 for both the focus keyword and every other word in the text.
Use it to spot genuine keyword stuffing (a term repeated far more than the surrounding text needs) or unintentional repetition that reads awkwardly - not to hit a percentage. This analysis only recognizes Latin-script words (a-z, 0-9) - words in Urdu, Arabic, or other non-Latin scripts are excluded from every count (see Limitations).
A keyword density checker that measures how often a focus keyword or phrase appears in your text, plus a top-10 frequency table for every word - built for spotting keyword stuffing and unintentional repetition, not for chasing a target percentage.

Best For
Input
"SEO tools help you rank. SEO tools are great. The best SEO tools online." with focus keyword "seo tools"Result
Total Words: 14. Focus Count: 3. Focus Density: 21.43%. Top terms: "seo" (3), "tools" (3), then single mentions including "the."The focus phrase "seo tools" is matched as consecutive words, case-insensitively, giving an exact count of 3 - not an estimate. Note that "the" appears in the top-terms table alongside real content words, since common words aren't filtered out.
Check whether your focus keyword's density looks unnaturally high relative to the rest of the text - there's no percentage threshold, just your own judgment of what reads naturally.
Scan the top-terms table for words you didn't realize you were repeating.
Check whether one term dominates the word-frequency distribution.
Paste a competitor's public content to see which terms they repeat most.
Problem
Solution
There isn't one built into this tool, and there isn't one in Google's own guidance either - keyword density stopped being treated as a ranking factor years ago.
Problem
Solution
Density alone isn't what Google's spam policies target - unnatural, reader-unfriendly repetition is the actual concern, which is a writing judgment call, not a percentage rule.
Problem
Solution
Words like "the," "and," and "of" are counted like any other word and can appear in the top-10 table.
Problem
Solution
This tool's word matching only recognizes Latin letters and numbers - non-Latin-script words are silently excluded from every count, including Total Words.
Problem
Solution
The focus keyword field isn't punctuation-stripped the way the body text is - typing "seo tools!" won't match "SEO tools" in your pasted text unless the text itself ends the phrase with an exclamation mark too.
A term standing out far above everything else in the frequency table is a more useful stuffing signal than any percentage.
Leave off trailing punctuation in the Focus Keyword field so it matches the normalized (punctuation-stripped) words in your text.
Navigation text, footers, or boilerplate pasted alongside your content will be counted too, skewing the totals.
Repetition and readability are usually the same editing pass - awkward repetition often shows up as an odd-sounding sentence too.
Word matching only recognizes a-z and 0-9 after lowercasing - a word in Urdu, Arabic, or another non-Latin script is reduced to nothing and dropped from the word list, which also lowers Total Words. Text written primarily in a non-Latin script can show a Total Words count of 0.
Common words ("the," "a," "and," etc.) are counted and can appear in the top-10 terms table alongside meaningful keywords.
Body text words have leading/trailing punctuation stripped before matching, but the Focus Keyword field is only trimmed and lowercased - trailing punctuation in the field itself can prevent a match.
This tool doesn't display a target range or a good/bad label, since no such target exists in Google's current guidance.
There's no option to analyze a live page by URL - copy the text you want to check into the box.
If a word or phrase appears multiple times, each occurrence adds to the count - there's no deduplication of repeated instances.
Both count keyword frequency, but they disagree on whether a target percentage means anything.
| This Tool (Keyword Density Checker) | A Density-Target SEO Suite Feature | |
|---|---|---|
| Target range shown | None - Google's own guidance doesn't support one | Often shows a "recommended" percentage range (commonly outdated 1-3% folklore) |
| What it's for | Spotting stuffing and unintentional repetition | Framed as optimizing toward a ranking-boosting number |
| Stop words | Counted like any other word | Often filtered out of frequency views |
Which should you use?
Use this tool to catch obvious over-repetition and see your real word-frequency distribution; don't use it, or any tool, to chase a specific density percentage - that number doesn't affect rankings.
The most common question is what a "good" keyword density actually is. There isn't one - Google has said for years that keyword density isn't a ranking factor, and no percentage guarantees better rankings. This tool exists to catch obvious over-repetition (stuffing) and unintentional word patterns, not to help you hit a number. The FAQ below covers exactly how words are counted, including two real limitations: stop words aren't filtered, and non-Latin-script text isn't counted at all.
There isn't one. Google has stated for years that keyword density isn't a ranking factor, and no percentage is "ideal." This tool shows your frequency numbers so you can catch obvious over-repetition - it doesn't suggest a target.
No. It's a small, indirect signal at most - Google's own guidance doesn't support a target percentage, and unnatural repetition is addressed by spam policies on stuffing, not a density threshold.
No. Every word is counted, including common words, so they can appear in the top-10 terms table.
No. Word matching only recognizes Latin letters and numbers - non-Latin-script words are excluded from every count, including the Total Words number.
No. CoditTools's keyword density checker works on pasted text only, entirely in your browser - there's no URL-fetching option.
