Search engines use keyword density to categorize a site's theme, and to determine which terms the site is relevant to. This tool is useful for helping webmasters and SEOs achieve their optimum keyword density for a set of key terms.
The perfect keyword density will help achieve higher search engine positions. Keyword density needs to be balanced correctly; too low and you will not get the optimum benefit, too high and your page might get flagged for “keyword spamming”.
Search engine spiders ignore certain common stop words. Some of these stop words are given below.
SEO Stop Words

In an attempt to mimic the function of search engine spiders, this
checker tool will filter out common stop words. However, it will avoid
filtering out stop words in the middle of a term. For example,
“designing with CSS” would go through, even though “with” is a stop
word.
Keyword density ratios are discussed as a percentage. A good range for
keyword density for a target keyword is 2% to 6%. It is more of an art
than a science to find the optimum SEO keyword density, and considering
the speed at which search engines change their algorithms, any test
results may already be obsolete when they are published.
This checker tool will analyze your chosen URL and return a table of
keyword density values for one-, two-, or three-word key terms.
