Word frequency analysis counts how many times each word appears in a text. It is used in linguistics, SEO, content optimization, and data analysis to identify the most important or overused terms.
How can word frequency help with SEO?
By analyzing word frequency in your content, you can identify your main keywords, spot overused words, and ensure your primary keyword appears with appropriate density relative to other terms.
Does the tool count uppercase and lowercase separately?
No. All words are normalized to lowercase before counting, so "The" and "the" are counted as the same word.
What characters are counted as words?
The tool counts sequences of letters and numbers as words, including accented characters from European languages. Punctuation and whitespace are used as word boundaries and not counted.
