Frequently Asked Questions

Keyword density is the percentage of times a specific word appears relative to the total word count. It is calculated as (Keyword Count / Total Words) * 100.
For search engine optimization, a keyword density of 1% to 2.5% is generally recommended. Exceeding this can trigger keyword stuffing penalties from search algorithms.
Yes, the tool has a built-in filter to exclude common English stop words (like 'the', 'and', 'is', 'of'), allowing you to focus on meaningful content keywords.
Yes, you can toggle case sensitivity in the settings to distinguish between proper nouns (e.g., brand names like 'Apple') and general nouns ('apple').
The tool lists single keywords by default. For multi-word phrases (bigrams, trigrams), we recommend using the N-Gram Analyzer tool on Writing Utilities.
