Paste any draft to instantly count words, characters, sentences and paragraphs, estimate reading time, and list the words and two-word phrases you repeat most often. It is a quick way to check that an article covers its topic in enough depth without over-using a single keyword.
How to use this tool
- Paste your text into the box. Formatting is ignored, so you can copy straight from a document.
- Review the counts and the estimated reading time, based on 200 words per minute.
- Check the keyword table to see your most frequent terms and their density.
- Edit the draft and watch the numbers update as you type.
How keyword density is calculated
Density is the number of times a word or phrase appears, divided by the total number of words, shown as a percentage. Common stop words are excluded so that meaningful terms rise to the top, and only terms used more than once are listed. Two-word phrases are counted separately, which helps you spot the topics your text really focuses on.
Why it matters for SEO
There is no ideal keyword density, and modern search engines understand synonyms and related terms. The value of this check is editorial: if your main topic barely appears, the page may not be clearly about it; if one phrase dominates, the text probably reads as repetitive and unnatural. Aim for natural language that covers the subtopics a reader expects, and use the counts to catch extremes.
Best practices
- Match length to intent: answer simple questions briefly and cover complex topics thoroughly.
- Use variations and related terms instead of repeating the exact keyword.
- Break long text into short paragraphs with descriptive subheadings.
- Include the main topic in the title, the introduction and at least one subheading.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good word count for a blog post?
There is no single target. Compare the pages that already rank for your query and aim to cover the topic better, not simply to write more words.
Is my text stored?
No. The analysis runs entirely in your browser and nothing is uploaded.
