Can keyword stuffing get a page penalized?

Yes - unnaturally repeating a phrase to manipulate rankings violates Google's spam policies and can trigger algorithmic demotions or, in severe cases, manual action.

Does this tool check single words or phrases too?

Both - it scans for repeated single-word terms as well as common two-word phrases, since keyword stuffing often shows up in exact-match phrase repetition rather than single words.

Should the density check include navigation and footer text?

Ideally not - including boilerplate text that repeats on every page (navigation, footer, sidebar) will inflate density numbers and give a misleading picture of the actual body content.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about calculations, assumptions, and edge cases.

There is no official target - the old 1-2% rule of thumb is a rough sanity check, not a ranking rule. Modern SEO favors natural, readable writing over hitting a specific percentage; use this tool to catch obvious over-repetition, not to chase a number.
