About this tool
Use it to check that your main topic is clear and that no phrase is repeated unnaturally. There is no ideal density; write for readers first.
Checking your topic focus without keyword stuffing
Keyword density measures how often a word or phrase appears compared with the total number of words in a piece of writing. Years ago, some people tried to rank pages by repeating keywords as often as possible. Search engines now treat that as a sign of low-quality content, and it makes writing unpleasant to read. Today, the useful question is simpler: is the main topic clear, and is any phrase repeated so often that it sounds unnatural?
This checker lists the most frequent single words, two-word phrases and three-word phrases in your text, with counts and percentages. Common filler words such as 'the', 'and' and 'is' are ignored, so the results focus on meaningful terms. Looking at the phrases is often more revealing than single words. If your page is about home loan interest rates, that phrase or close variations should appear naturally, along with related terms such as EMI, tenure and processing fee.
There is no ideal density to aim for. If a phrase stands out far above everything else, read those sentences aloud and replace some repetitions with pronouns or natural variations. If your main topic barely appears, the page may not be as focused as you thought, so make the subject clearer in the title, headings and opening paragraph. Readers matter more than percentages: content that answers questions thoroughly and is easy to read tends to perform better than text tuned to a number. You can also paste competitor articles to see which topics they cover. Your text is analysed in your browser and is never stored or sent anywhere.

Questions
What keyword density is best for SEO?
There is no target number. Google looks at meaning and usefulness; repeating a phrase too often can read as spam.
Which words are ignored?
Common English stop words such as 'the', 'and' and 'is' are skipped in single-word counts.
