Are you saying your keyword too much? Too little?
You wrote a post targeting "vegan meal prep." But did you actually mention it — or did you dance around it the whole time? Or worse, did you cram it in so often that it reads like a robot wrote it? A Keyword Density checker shows you exactly which words appear most and how frequently, as a percentage of your total text.
What it shows you
Your most-used words and phrases, ranked by frequency.
The density percentage for each one.
A quick read on whether your content is balanced or lopsided.
How to use it (step by step)
Open the Keyword Density checker.
Paste your full article in.
Review the list of top words and their percentages.
Check that your target keyword shows up naturally — not buried, not overused.
Edit and re-check until it reads smoothly.
Real-world use cases
Pre-publish SEO check: Confirming your main keyword actually appears in the post.
Catching overstuffing: Spotting when a word is repeated so often it hurts readability.
Finding accidental focus: Discovering you've leaned on a word you didn't even intend to target.
Editing for variety: Realizing you've said "amazing" eleven times and reaching for a thesaurus.
FAQ
What's a good keyword density? There's no magic number, but somewhere around 1–2% for your main keyword is a safe, natural range. Write for humans first.
Can keyword stuffing actually hurt me? Yes — search engines penalize obviously stuffed content, and readers bounce from it. Density tools help you stay on the right side.
Does it count common words like "the" and "and"? It does, which is why the top of the list is often filler words. Focus on the meaningful terms.

Run your next draft through a density check and write content that reads naturally and ranks.
