Word Frequency Counter

Tabulate words by occurrence count and density — with stopword filtering.

Paste any text and get a sortable table of every word, how many times it appears, and what percentage of the total it represents. Filter common stopwords (the, a, of…) to focus on content words for SEO and editorial review.

Common use cases

  • SEO keyword density analysis on landing pages and blog posts
  • Find overused words in your manuscript before submission
  • Compare keyword spread across multiple draft versions
  • Build word clouds and tag clouds from raw text

Frequently asked questions

How are words split?
We split on non-letter characters and lowercase the result, so 'Apple' and 'apple' count together. Apostrophes are kept ('don't' is one word).
Which stopwords are filtered?
About 100 of the most common English function words: articles, pronouns, prepositions, common verbs and conjunctions.
Is keyword density still important for SEO?
Less so than in 2010, but extreme density (>5%) can look spammy and over-optimised. Aim for natural usage rather than a magic number.
