Keyword Density Checker
Find what a page actually repeats, in words and short phrases, before an editor or an algorithm notices.
How Keyword Density works
See your most repeated words and two- or three-word phrases with counts and density percentages. Spot stuffing early. Everything happens inside this page: the tool reads your input, runs the calculation or conversion locally, and hands the result back to you. Nothing is transmitted, because there is no backend to transmit it to.
That design choice is deliberate. Most free tool sites upload your files to a server, process them there, and quietly keep a copy. Toolcin cannot do that — the site is a set of static files. If your connection dropped the moment the page finished loading, every tool would still work.
What density measures
Density is the number of times a term appears divided by the total word count, shown as a percentage. The tool can count single words, two-word phrases or three-word phrases, and optionally ignores common stop words so that “of the” does not dominate the list.
The phrase modes are the useful ones: a page can mention “email” twenty times without ever using “email marketing”, and the two-word view is what reveals whether the target phrase is actually present.
There is no correct percentage
The old advice of 2–3% came from a period when search engines counted keywords. Modern ranking does not work that way, and writing to a percentage produces prose that reads like it was written to a percentage.
Use the number as a diagnostic, not a target. If a term you care about does not appear at all, that is a signal. If it appears twice as often as any synonym, that is a signal too.
| What you see | What it usually means |
|---|---|
| Target phrase absent | The page is not about what you think |
| One word far ahead of the rest | Possible repetition; read it aloud |
| Even spread, no repeats | Healthy natural writing |
| Only stop words at the top | Enable the stop-word filter |
The measurement trap
Stemming is not applied, so “convert” and “converting” count separately. A page that uses both forms evenly will show half the density for each, even though a reader sees one concept.
For a fair view, run the multi-word mode on the exact phrase you are targeting and accept that inflections will split the count.

Questions
Is there an ideal keyword density?
No — Google does not rank by density. Use 1–3% for the main topic as a sanity check and ignore the rest.
Why filter stop words?
Words like “the” and “and” always dominate a raw count and tell you nothing about the topic.
Does it fetch my page?
No. Paste the text; nothing is requested from the network.
Is 3% a good density?
There is no good number. Write for the reader, then check that the topic words appear at all.
