About Word Density Counter Online
This tool analyses any text and reports word frequency: which words appear most often, how many times each one shows up, and the percentage of total words each represents. It can also group together 2-word and 3-word phrases.
Word density is a core metric in content SEO. Search engines look at which terms a page emphasises to understand what it's about, but excessive density of a single keyword ("keyword stuffing") triggers penalties. The sweet spot is usually 1-3% for your main keyword.
Use it to audit drafts before publishing, balance focus keywords across an article, or analyse competitors to understand which terms they emphasise in their copy.
How to use this tool
How to count word frequency
Paste your text
Put the content into the Text field. The tool tokenises on whitespace, then counts how often each token appears.
Set how many top words
"How many top words" controls how many entries appear in the result table (10–400, default 80). Lower for headline keywords, raise for a long tail.
Filter short tokens
"Minimum word length" defaults to 2 — drops single-character noise like "I" and "a". Raise to 4 or 5 to focus on content words.
Toggle case and run
"Case-sensitive counting" off (default) merges "Cat" and "cat"; on keeps them separate (useful for code or acronym audits). Press Run to see the top map, distinctWords, and totalWordsCounted.
