Frequently Asked Questions
Why are words like 'the' and 'and' missing?
The tool filters ~80 common stop-words so the ranking shows meaningful vocabulary rather than grammar glue.
What word frequency indicates over-optimization?
If a single keyword exceeds roughly 2.5–3% of total words, the page starts reading as stuffed. Use the Keyword Density Checker for an exact measure against your target phrase.
Can this help find LSI or related terms?
Indirectly — run it on top-ranking competitor pages (paste their text) to see which terms they emphasize that you're missing.
