About the Keyword Density Checker
Paste your copy, or the visible text of a page, and get the words and phrases you repeat most, as counts and as a percentage of the total. One, two and three word phrases are analysed separately, because the useful signal is usually in the phrases rather than in single words. Common filler words are filtered out by default, and you can switch that off.
Set a focus keyword and you also get its exact count, its density, and whether it appears in the first hundred words. Treat density as a diagnostic and not a target: there is no ideal percentage, and search engines have used semantic matching rather than raw repetition for over a decade. The honest use of this tool is spotting the opposite problem — copy that never quite states its own topic, or a page that has drifted onto a different subject than the one you set out to write.

Frequently asked questions
There is no correct number. Anything that reads naturally is fine, which in practice lands most copy between half a percent and two percent. Writing to hit a target percentage produces worse pages than writing for the reader.
Yes. Unnaturally repeated terms are covered by Google spam policies and can suppress a page. The bigger cost is usually the reader, who leaves when the copy reads like it was written for a machine.
Because they carry the intent. Ten mentions of "insurance" says little, but ten mentions of "travel insurance for over 70s" tells you exactly what the page is about and which query it answers.
Very common words such as the, and, of and to, which appear at the top of any frequency count without saying anything about a topic. They are filtered out by default and you can include them with the toggle.
