Frequently Asked Questions
What is keyword density?
Keyword density is the percentage of times a specific word or phrase appears in a piece of content relative to the total word count. SEO practitioners use it as a loose guide to whether content is sufficiently focused on a topic, though Google does not use a fixed density threshold.
Does the counter ignore common words like ‘the’ and ‘a’?
By default, the counter shows all words. Common stop words (like ‘the’, ‘a’, ‘and’) are typically the most frequent and can be filtered out if you want to focus on meaningful content words.
Can I use this to check for keyword stuffing?
Yes. If a specific keyword appears with unusually high frequency, it may indicate over-optimisation. Natural, well-written content typically has a varied vocabulary with no single keyword dominating excessively.
How is this different from a word counter?
A word counter gives you the total word count. A word frequency counter breaks down how often each individual word appears – more detailed and useful for content analysis purposes.
