Why check top words?
Understanding the most frequent words in your text gives you powerful insights:
- SEO: Ensure your target keywords appear enough (but not too much).
- Writing Style: Catch "crutch words" you rely on too heavily.
- Theme Verification: Confirm that your most used words actually align with your essay or article's main topic.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is keyword density?
Keyword density is the percentage of times a keyword or phrase appears on a web page compared to the total number of words on the page. It's a key metric for SEO success.
Why remove stop words?
Stop words (like 'the', 'and', 'is') appear frequently but don't carry the main meaning. Removing them allows the unique subject-matter keywords to rise to the top of your list.
What is the ideal keyword density for SEO?
Most SEO experts recommend a density between 1-3%. Anything higher might be flagged as 'keyword stuffing' by search engines, potentially harming your ranking.
Can I analyze large files?
Yes! You can copy-paste massive blocks of text or use the 'Upload' feature to analyze entire .txt or .md documents instantly in your browser.
Does it count numbers?
By default, this tool focuses on alphabetic words. Pure numbers are usually excluded to keep the keyword list relevant to your content's topic.
How does case sensitivity work?
If enabled, 'Apple' and 'apple' count as two different words. If disabled (default), they are merged into one count, which is usually better for general topic analysis.
Is my text data private?
Yes, absolutely. All processing happens locally in your browser via JavaScript. Your text is never sent to our servers or stored anywhere.
Can I export the results?
Yes, simply click the 'Copy Full List' button to get a formatted list of your top keywords and their densities to paste into Excel or your notes.
What is a 'Min Frequency' filter?
This allows you to ignore words that only appear once or twice, cleaning up your list to show only the truly recurring themes in your document.
Is this useful for students?
Definitely. Students use it to check if they are repeating the same words too often (word whiskers) or to ensure they have sufficiently covered the essay prompt's key themes.
