Keyword Density Checker

Keyword density is the percentage of times a specific keyword or phrase appears on a webpage compared to the total number of words on that page.

Keyword stuffing is a penalized black-hat SEO tactic where a page is unnaturally loaded with target keywords in an attempt to manipulate search engine rankings.

While strict percentages matter less to Google today due to advanced semantic search, it remains a valuable metric to ensure your content is clearly focused on the right topic without being spammy.
