Frequently Asked Questions
What are stop words?
Stop words are extremely common words (the, a, and, is, in, on…) that carry little meaning on their own. Most text analysis tools filter them out by default so you see which meaningful words dominate. You can disable the filter to count all words including stop words.
How is word frequency useful for SEO?
Checking word frequency helps you spot keyword density — how often a target keyword appears relative to total words. SEO guidelines generally suggest a keyword density of 1–3%. You can also catch over-used filler words or find opportunities to add more variation.
Can I use this for academic text analysis?
Yes — researchers use word frequency to study corpus linguistics, authorship attribution, and literary analysis. Paste any text (essay, book chapter, article) and export the CSV for further analysis in Excel, Python, or R.
