What keyword density means
Keyword density is how much of a text is taken up by one word or phrase. Here it is the number of times the keyword appears, times the words in it, divided by all the words in the text. A 1,000-word page that says "chicken momo" 10 times has a density of 2% for that phrase.
There is no perfect number. Search engines look for pages that answer the question well, and repeating a keyword too often reads badly and can look like spam. Use this tool to check that your main topic is clear and that no word is overused.
How words are counted
| Words | Letters and numbers between spaces and punctuation. English and Nepali are both counted. |
|---|---|
| Phrases | Two or three words in a row inside one sentence, listed when they appear more than once. |
| Common words | Words such as the, and, को and मा are left out of the lists unless you untick the option. They still count towards the total. |
| HTML | If you paste page source, tags, scripts and styles are removed first. |
Privacy: how this tool handles your text
When you use Keyword density checker, your browser reads your text on your device and the tool's code does the work in this tab. PageYak's server only sends the page and its code. It never receives your text, so there is nothing to delete afterwards.
How PageYak works explains this in more detail.
How to use keyword density
- Checking that a blog post is clearly about its main topic before you publish.
- Spotting words you repeat too often, which reads badly.
- Comparing your page with top-ranking pages for the same search.
- Checking Nepali articles too, since Devanagari words are counted.
Questions
What is a good keyword density?
Most well-written pages land between 0.5% and 2.5% for their main keyword, but there is no rule. Write for readers first.
Can I check a page by its address?
Not directly, because the check runs in your browser. Open the page, select all the text, copy it and paste it here. Pasting the HTML source works too.
Does keyword density affect Google ranking?
Not directly. Google ranks helpful pages that answer the search well, so use the numbers to check balance, not to hit a target.
Can I paste HTML?
Yes. Tags, scripts and styles are removed first, so only the visible words are counted.
