Word Frequency Counter
Top words with counts and density. Stop words filtered by default, so the list shows what the text is actually about.

Worked example
The density figure is the word count divided by total words analysed, not by unique words. A term at 4% density in a 1000-word article appears 40 times — usually a sign of keyword stuffing rather than relevance.
Word frequency answers a narrow question well: which terms does this text repeat, and how often. That is useful for finding accidental repetition, checking whether a piece actually covers its stated topic, and spotting the difference between what a page says it is about and what it keeps talking about.
Density is a diagnostic, not a target
There is no correct keyword density. Search engines have not used it as a ranking signal for many years, and writing to a percentage produces prose that reads like it was written to a percentage. Use the figure to notice over-repetition, not to hit a number.
Stop words
Filtering them out makes the list readable: without the filter, "the" and "of" dominate every English text and bury the terms you care about. Turn it off when analysing writing style rather than topic — function-word frequency is a fingerprint of authorship.
Hyphens and possessives
Hyphenated compounds are kept together, so "long-term" counts as one word. Possessives are stripped, so "user's" and "users" both count as "users", which is usually the intent.
