About the Word Frequency Counter
The Word Frequency Counter reveals which words appear most often in your text and what percentage of the total they represent. This percentage is commonly called keyword density, a useful signal when writing SEO content: it helps you confirm that your main topic is clearly covered without stuffing the same keyword unnaturally.
By default, common English stop words such as "the", "and" and "of" are ignored so the meaningful words rise to the top. You can adjust the minimum word length, view the top 50 words with a visual bar chart, and export the full list as a CSV file for spreadsheets. Writers also use it to catch repetitive vocabulary, and teachers and researchers use it for simple text analysis.
How to use the Word Frequency Counter
- Paste your text into the box.
- Choose whether to ignore stop words and set a minimum word length.
- Review the ranked list with counts and density percentages.
- Export the results as CSV if you need them in a spreadsheet.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good keyword density for SEO?
There is no fixed rule. Most SEO writers aim for natural language where the main keyword appears roughly 0.5% to 2% of the time; focus on readability first.
What are stop words?
Stop words are very common words like "the", "is" and "and" that carry little meaning on their own, so they are usually excluded from keyword analysis.
Does it support other languages?
Word counting works for any language with Unicode letters. The stop word list is English only, so turn it off for other languages.
