Keyword density

For SEO, a target keyword sitting around 1–2% of total words reads naturally. Much higher can look like keyword stuffing.

Turn off "ignore common words" off only when you want the full picture. Left on, it surfaces the meaningful words you lean on most.

Frequently asked questions

What does a word frequency counter do?

It scans your text and counts how many times each word appears, then ranks them from most to least frequent with a count and a percentage of the total.

What does 'ignore common words' mean?

When ticked, very common filler words such as 'the', 'and', 'to' and 'of' are left out of the ranking, so you see the meaningful words you use most. Untick it to count every word.

Is this useful for SEO?

Yes. The percentage column shows keyword density, which helps you check that a target keyword appears often enough to be relevant without being overused.

Is my text stored?

No. The counting happens entirely in your browser as you type, so your text is never uploaded or saved by WordSmart HQ.
