Paste your text and see the most-used words and phrases with their density. Aim for 0.5 to 1.5 percent on your main phrase. Density is a diagnostic rather than a ranking factor — its real use is catching a page that is either stuffed or vague about its own subject.
| Density | How it reads | Verdict |
|---|---|---|
| Under 0.5% | The phrase barely appears | Google may not know what the page is about |
| 0.5% – 1.5% | Natural | Where you want to be |
| 1.5% – 2.5% | Noticeable but fine for a short page | Acceptable |
| Over 3% | Reads as repetitive to a human | Rewrite it |
On a 1,000-word article, one percent is ten mentions. That is usually the title, the opening paragraph, two subheadings and a handful of natural uses in the body — which is exactly how a well-written page looks anyway.
This is worth saying plainly, because a lot of SEO advice implies otherwise. Google does not have a target density it rewards. Keyword density is a diagnostic, not a lever.
What it is genuinely useful for:
Single words are noisy. "Birthday" appearing forty times on a birthday page tells you nothing. The useful view is the two and three-word list, because that is closer to how people actually search.
Toggle the filler-word filter off and you will see how much of any text is the, and and to — typically around a third. That is normal English, not a problem.
What is a good keyword density? Between 0.5 and 1.5 percent for your main phrase. Above three percent reads as repetitive to a human, which is the real problem.
Is keyword density a Google ranking factor? No. Google has no target density it rewards. It is a diagnostic for spotting stuffing or vagueness, not a lever to pull.
How many times should I use my keyword in 1,000 words? About ten times for one percent. In practice that is the title, the opening, two subheadings and a few natural uses in the body.
Why look at two and three-word phrases? Single words are noisy. Phrases are closer to how people actually search, and the top phrases tell you what your page is really about.
Does this tool store my text? No. Everything is analysed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed.
