What is keyword density?
Keyword density is how often a word or phrase shows up in a piece of text, relative to the total word count. It's a rough signal of what a page is actually about — but pushing it too high, purely to target a keyword, tends to hurt readability more than it helps rankings.
Good density ranges
0.5% – 2.5%
Healthy, natural range for a primary keyword.
2.5% – 3%
Getting repetitive — worth a re-read.
Above 3%
Reads as keyword stuffing to most people and search engines.
FAQs
Why check 2- and 3-word phrases, not just single words?
Multi-word phrases usually reveal your actual topic focus more clearly than single keywords, since they capture how words are used together in context.
Can high keyword density hurt my rankings?
Unnaturally repeating a keyword can hurt readability and trigger spam-quality signals, which can indirectly affect rankings.
Should I remove stop words from my writing?
No — they're hidden here only to help real keyword signals stand out in the analysis. They're a normal, necessary part of natural writing.
