Word Frequency Counter
Paste any text to see how often each word appears, ranked by frequency. Shows keyword density, unique word count, and a word cloud. Great for SEO, content analysis, and writing.
Word Frequency Counter — What It Does
This word frequency counter analyses any text and tells you how many times each word appears. Results are ranked from most to least frequent and shown in a table with frequency counts, keyword density percentages, and a visual bar. A word cloud shows the most frequent words proportionally sized. You can filter out common stop words (the, a, is, of, to, etc.) to focus on meaningful content words, and export the results as CSV for further analysis in Excel or Google Sheets.
Keyword Density Analysis
Keyword density is the percentage of times a specific word appears relative to the total word count. For example, in a 500-word article where "SEO" appears 10 times, the keyword density is 2%. SEO professionals typically aim for 1-3% for target keywords — high enough to signal relevance but not so high as to appear keyword-stuffed. Use this tool to audit keyword density in your content before publishing.
Unique Word Count — Vocabulary Richness
The unique word count shows how many distinct words appear in your text. A 1,000-word article with 600 unique words has richer vocabulary than one with 300 unique words. Academic writing typically targets a high unique-word ratio. Marketing copy tends to repeat key terms deliberately for emphasis and SEO. Both approaches are valid depending on the goal — this tool measures both total and unique counts so you can track whichever metric matters to your work.
Uses for Word Frequency Analysis
SEO content auditing: verify keyword density is in the right range before publishing. Academic writing: check that key terms are used consistently throughout a paper. Editing and proofreading: spot overused words that should be varied. Competitor analysis: paste competitor content and see what words they emphasise. Language learning: understand which words appear most in authentic texts. Market research: analyse customer reviews or survey responses for the most common themes.
