Word Frequency Analyzer

See which words appear most often. Toggle stopword filtering and export the table to CSV.

Wanneer gebruiken

Use word frequency for keyword analysis, content-tag extraction, evidence of topic focus, and as a quick "what is this about?" check on unfamiliar text. Excellent for SEO drafts, article summaries, and student essays.

Vergelijking

Frequency analysis is a precursor to more advanced techniques like TF-IDF or topic modelling. For single documents, raw frequency with stopword filtering is the simplest useful approach.

Zo werkt het

This tool counts every word and surfaces the most-used ones, with optional filtering of common stopwords and short words.

Frequency tables are useful for surfacing repetition, identifying topical keywords, or building keyword lists for SEO.

Use the CSV export to take the table into a spreadsheet.

Veelgestelde vragen

What are stopwords?

Common function words (the, of, and, to, a) that dominate frequency lists but contribute little meaning. Toggle them off to surface meaningful content words.

Why is my top word so common?

Try increasing the minimum length filter to 4+ letters and enabling stopword exclusion.

Why does word frequency matter for SEO?

It reveals whether your target keywords actually appear often enough to signal a page's topic, and whether one word is repeated so much it reads as keyword stuffing. Use it to spot both gaps and overuse.

Should I count word variants like 'run' and 'running' together?

A raw frequency count treats each spelling separately, so plurals and tenses appear as distinct entries. To group them you would need stemming or lemmatization, which this simple counter does not apply by default.

Voorbeeld

Invoer

~500 words of blog text.

Uitvoer

Top content words: "design" (12), "user" (9), "interface" (7), "research" (5).

After stopword filtering, the highest-frequency content words usually reveal the document's true topic at a glance.

Veelgemaakte fouten

  • Without stopword filtering, the top words are always "the", "of", "and" — useless for topic discovery.
  • Different inflections ("run", "runs", "running") count separately unless lemmatised.
  • Frequency does not equal importance — a word can be central without being repeated.
  • Stopword lists vary by domain; technical writing may want to keep words like "this" or "these".
