The most frequent word is data, used 4 times, which is 12.9% of counted words (4 ÷ 31). Dashboards follows with 2.

How this differs from a keyword density check
Our keyword density checker focuses on how often target keywords appear in a page. This counter is a general text tool: it ranks every word or phrase, lets you set a minimum count, and exports the full list, which is useful for analysing survey answers, customer reviews, interview transcripts or your own writing habits.
- Text is lowercased; apostrophes inside words like don't are kept.
- Numbers on their own are left out of single-word counts.
- For phrases, the stop-word filter skips phrases that start or end with a common word, which keeps useful pairs like power bi.
Everything runs in your browser. Check overall length with the word counter and on-page keyword use with the keyword density checker.
