Word Frequency Counter
See how often every word appears in your text.
How to Use the Word Frequency Counter
Paste your text into the box and click Analyse. A frequency table appears showing each unique word, how many times it appears, and its percentage of the total word count.
Options
Ignore Common Words (Stop Words)
When enabled, extremely common words like "the", "a", "and", "is" are excluded from the frequency table. This is useful for content analysis where you want to identify meaningful keywords rather than grammatical function words.
Case Insensitive
"Word" and "word" are counted as the same word. Enabled by default.
What Word Frequency Analysis Is Used For
SEO Keyword Density
Check that your target keywords appear at an appropriate frequency in your content. Overuse (keyword stuffing) harms rankings; underuse means the page may not rank for the term.
Writing Quality
Identify words you overuse — words that appear surprisingly often are usually candidates for synonym substitution to make writing more varied.
Text Analysis and Research
Frequency analysis is the foundation of many natural language processing tasks. This tool gives you the raw frequency data for any text without needing to write code.
