    Top 2-3 Word Phrases

      Keyword density is one basic text metric — it does not guarantee rankings, and search engines don't use a target percentage. Writing naturally for readers works better than repeating a phrase to hit a number. Avoid keyword stuffing; it can make content harder to read and may be treated as a negative signal.

      What Is Keyword Density?

      Keyword density is the percentage of words in a piece of text that are part of a specific word or phrase. It's a simple way to see whether a topic is mentioned rarely, reasonably, or excessively often.

      Why Is It Useful?

      It can help you notice if you've barely mentioned your main topic, or — more commonly — if you've repeated a phrase so often that the writing starts to feel unnatural or spammy.

      How to Use It

      Paste your text, optionally enter a target keyword or phrase, and the results update as you type. The tool also shows the most frequent single words, 2-word phrases, and 3-word phrases in your text even without a target keyword.

      How to Interpret the Results

      There's no single "correct" density percentage — this varies by topic, content length, and writing style. Use this as a sanity check, not a target to hit. If a phrase dominates the top of the list far more than everything else, it's worth rereading that section for natural flow.

      Common Mistakes

      Limitations

      This tool counts exact word matches (case-insensitive) — it doesn't understand synonyms, plurals as different forms, or grammatical variations unless they're typed as separate entries. Very short texts can produce misleadingly high percentages.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      What is a "good" keyword density?

      There isn't one — search engines don't publish or use a target percentage. Write naturally for your reader and use this tool as a sanity check, not a goal.

      Will a high keyword density help me rank higher?

      No. Keyword stuffing can make content harder to read and is more likely to hurt than help. Relevance and usefulness matter far more than repetition.

      Does this tool send my text anywhere?

      No — all counting happens locally in your browser with JavaScript. Your text is never sent to klikwit's servers.

      Why does my keyword count seem low?

      The tool matches the exact phrase you typed. Plurals, different word order, or synonyms won't be counted as the same phrase.

      Can I check a multi-word phrase?

      Yes — type the full phrase (e.g. "url shortener") into the Target Keyword field and it will be matched as a sequence, not as separate words.
