Draft length and repetition
Word Counter and Keyword Density Checker
Count words, characters, sentences, paragraphs, and reading time while reviewing focus-phrase use and repeated one-, two-, or three-word phrases. Edit for coverage and natural language instead of chasing a density target.
Paste the complete article body for the most useful pattern. Add a focus phrase only when you want to inspect that exact wording; the broader phrase tables work without one.

Word Counter and Keyword Density
Count words and paragraphs, measure focus-phrase density, and show frequent terms.
Look beyond the total
A word count confirms length; repetition reveals the editing work
Publishers often set a minimum or expected article length, so the total is a practical submission check. It does not tell you whether the draft is complete. A 1,200-word article can still miss the reader’s main question, while a shorter draft may explain a narrow point exceptionally well.
Phrase frequency makes mechanical repetition visible. Review the two- and three-word tables for language that sounds copied from a brief, product name overuse, or the same transition appearing in every section. There is no universal keyword-density percentage that makes a page useful or rank.
- Word and paragraph count. Confirm the draft fits the publisher brief and has readable section breaks.
- Reading time. Use it as a planning estimate, not a promise about how long every visitor will stay.
- Focus-phrase occurrences. Check where the exact phrase appears and whether each use sounds necessary.
- Two-word phrases. Repeated campaign language often becomes visible here first.
- Three-word phrases. These can expose templated wording that single-word counts miss.
A practical workflow
Edit repeated language without replacing it with synonyms everywhere
The goal is not to make every phrase unique. Important names and terms should repeat when clarity requires it.
Check the publisher brief
Confirm the expected length, audience, topic, prohibited claims, link count, and formatting before changing the draft to satisfy a number.
Review phrase context
Open the highlighted uses of the focus phrase and inspect common bigrams or trigrams. Remove repetition that adds no new meaning.
Improve topic coverage
Add missing examples, evidence, objections, or steps when the article is genuinely incomplete. Do not pad the word count with restatements.
Worked example
A repeated service phrase can hide a weak paragraph
Suppose “education guest posting service” appears nine times in a short article. The percentage may attract attention, but the more important finding is that four uses appear in consecutive sentences and repeat the same claim.
The edit should combine those sentences, explain a real part of the service, and keep the phrase only where it identifies the offer clearly. The result becomes more informative rather than merely using a lower number.
Before final submission
- Confirm the title and body answer the same search intent.
- Remove paragraphs that restate the introduction.
- Keep product, brand, and technical names when readers need them.
- Check headings, links, citations, and calls to action.
- Read the article once without looking at the density table.
Limits and judgment
Density is a description of the draft, not an SEO instruction
The calculation divides phrase use by the number of words and treats matching case-insensitively. Punctuation and formatting are normalized, but language with unusual word boundaries may produce less useful frequency tables.
Search engines evaluate far more than repeated terms. Intent satisfaction, originality, evidence, page experience, internal links, site reputation, and competitive context all matter. Use frequency to improve prose, never as a promise of ranking performance.
- Focus phrase. An empty field is valid; it simply skips exact-phrase density.
- Stop words. Toggle common-word filtering to make topical phrases easier to inspect.
- Hyphens and punctuation. Normalization can change how compound terms are counted.
- Privacy. The text is analyzed for the result and is not saved as an article.

Common questions
Word-count and density questions without myths
What keyword density should I target?
There is no universal target. Use the focus-phrase result to find awkward repetition and confirm important language appears where readers expect it.
Are more words better for SEO?
Not automatically. Length should follow the topic, intent, evidence, and publisher brief. Additional words help only when they add useful information.
What does the stop-word filter change?
It removes common function words from frequency tables so topical words and phrases are easier to see. It does not change the main word count.
How are multi-word phrases counted?
The tool analyzes consecutive normalized words and reports common two- and three-word sequences. It also shows context for the exact focus phrase when one is supplied.
Does the tool save my article?
No. The browser sends the text for the requested analysis, and the plugin does not store it as a post or content archive.
