Content that ranks tends to cover a topic in depth, in the words people actually use. This tool gives you a fast snapshot of both. It fetches the page, strips out nav, header and footer noise, then counts words and the most-repeated keywords and phrases in the body.

Use it on your own pages to check whether the topic reads clearly. Use it on top-ranking competitors to see what they say more than you do.

Where this tool actually helps

  • Compare your page against the top-ranking result

    Run both URLs through the tool. Look for phrases the top result uses that yours does not.

  • Spot thin content quickly

    Any content page under 400 words is usually not going to rank. The tool tells you in one click.

  • Audit keyword drift

    Sometimes a page slowly stops mentioning its target keyword after edits. The tool catches it fast.

How to read the result

The word count is body content only. Nav, footer, and script content are stripped. Reading time assumes 220 words per minute, an average adult speed.

Top keywords tell you what the page emphasises. If the target keyword is not in the top ten singles or top ten phrases, the page is probably drifting off topic.

Common mistakes we see

  • Chasing a word count target. Depth matters more than length. A tight 900-word page can beat a bloated 2,500-word one.
  • Assuming higher frequency ranks better. Google is past that. Relevance and clarity beat repetition.
  • Ignoring 2-3 word phrases. Modern search rewards natural language, and phrases capture that.

FAQs

Does the tool count nav and footer words?
No. It strips script, style, nav, header, footer, aside and svg tags before counting.
Why is the count different from my CMS?
Your CMS counts every visible word including menus. This tool counts only body content, which is what search engines weight most.
What is a good keyword density?
There is no fixed number. Write naturally. If your target term does not appear in the top ten by frequency, revisit the page.
Can it check pages behind a login?
No. The URL must be publicly reachable, or the fetch will fail.
Do you store the URL I check?
No. It is used to fetch the page and discarded. Nothing is saved.
