What is the ideal keyword density?

There is no exact ideal, but 1–2% for your primary keyword is a commonly cited guideline. More important is natural-sounding content — search engines are sophisticated enough to understand semantic relevance beyond simple density.

Stop words are common words (the, a, is, in, of, etc.) that are filtered out of keyword analysis because they add no meaningful semantic value. The tool excludes them by default but you can toggle this off.

Keyword Density Analyser

Analyses the density and frequency of keywords in your content — single words, bigrams (two-word phrases), and trigrams (three-word phrases). Shows the count, percentage, and list of stop words filtered out. Helps identify over-optimised content that may trigger keyword stuffing penalties and ensures your primary keyword appears at an appropriate frequency (1–3% is typical).
