Keyword stuffing is the oldest spam trick and the easiest to flag: when a phrase appears unnaturally often, quality systems notice. Paste your content, add the terms you are targeting, and see count, density and a straight verdict per keyword. The healthy band is roughly 0.5–2.5% — above it you are hurting the page, below it Google may not be sure what the page is about.
How it works
- Paste the content — a section, a page, an article draft.
- Enter your target keywords, comma separated.
- Check the verdicts: adjust wording until density sits in the healthy band.
Questions people ask
What is the ideal keyword density?
There is no official number, but the practical band is roughly 0.5–2.5% for the main term. The tool marks that band green. Below it, reinforce the topic naturally; above it, replace repeats with pronouns, synonyms and variants.
Is keyword density still a ranking factor in 2026?
Not directly — modern systems read topics, not ratios. But density is still the fastest stuffing detector: unnatural repetition is a spam signal, and this tool catches it before a reviewer or an algorithm does.
Should I count phrases as well as single words?
Yes — enter them as multi-word keywords, the counter matches the exact phrase. Two-word and three-word phrases are usually what real buyers type, so tracking them matters more than the single head term.
