What is a word frequency counter?
Need to know which words dominate a page? This counter tallies every word and ranks the list from most to least frequent, with ties broken alphabetically. Counting is case-insensitive, so “Data” and “data” land in the same row. SEO writers use the ranking to check keyword density; editors use it to catch crutch words like “just” and “very”.
How to use the Word Frequency Counter
- 1 Feed the tool your article, transcript or draft.
- 2 Scan the ranked list; the heaviest hitters sit at the top.
- 3 Look for terms appearing far more often than you expected.
- 4 Export the list via copy to use it in a spreadsheet.
What you can use it for
- Checking keyword density for SEO content.
- Finding filler words you lean on too often.
- Analysing word usage in a transcript.
- Building a quick term-frequency table.
Frequently asked questions
How is the list ordered?
By count, descending. Words with equal counts are sorted alphabetically so the output is stable, which matters if you diff two runs of the same document.
Is the counting case-sensitive?
No. Everything is lower-cased first, so “Marketing” at the start of a sentence and “marketing” mid-sentence are tallied as one word.
Can I use this for SEO keyword density?
Yes. Divide a keyword’s count by the total word count for its density. Most SEO guidance suggests staying under 2–3% for a primary term.
