Keyword Density Checker Without a Chrome Extension
- Most keyword density Chrome extensions only analyze the page you're currently viewing
- Browser-based tool advantage: works on draft text before you publish — not just live URLs
- No install, no permissions, no account — works in Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Safari
- Extensions get removed from the store and stop working; a web tool always stays available

You don't need a Chrome extension to check keyword density. Paste your text into the free analyzer above and get instant density percentages for every keyword and phrase — no install, no browser permissions, works in any browser including Firefox, Edge, and Safari.
Why Keyword Density Chrome Extensions Fall Short
Keyword density Chrome extensions typically work by analyzing the page you're currently viewing in your browser tab. That creates three practical limitations:
- Can't analyze drafts: If your content is in a Google Doc, Word file, or CMS draft that isn't publicly published, an extension can't see it. You'd need to publish first, then analyze — the opposite of the ideal workflow.
- Page-only analysis: Extensions analyze what's rendered in the browser, which may include navigation, footers, sidebars, and other non-content text that skews your density numbers.
- Chrome-only: Extensions don't work on Firefox, Edge, or Safari. A browser-based tool works everywhere.
The most common workaround is to copy-paste your text into a tool — which is exactly what the free analyzer above does, without any extension required.

Most keyword density extensions request permission to "read and change all data on the websites you visit" during installation. This is a standard permission for extensions that need to read page content, but it grants the extension access to every page you visit — including pages with login forms, account pages, and private documents.
For a word-counting feature, that's a broader permission than the task requires. A paste-based web tool processes only the text you explicitly give it, with nothing running in your browser session outside that tab.
How to Check Keyword Density Without Installing Anything

- Click Analyze. Keyword density percentages and frequency counts appear instantly.
No extension install. No Chrome required. No browser restart. Works on your draft text before it goes live.

Open Free Keyword Density AnalyzerFrequently Asked Questions
Are there any keyword density extensions you recommend?
Several exist — SEO Minion and Keywords Everywhere are popular all-in-one SEO extensions that include density features. They're fine for analyzing competitor pages you're browsing. For your own draft content, a paste-based tool is faster and more flexible.
Can I check keyword density on a live page without an extension?
Yes — open the page, press Ctrl+U to view source, copy the visible text content, and paste into the tool. Alternatively, use Ctrl+A on the page itself to select visible text, copy, then paste. The tool will filter through the content.
Does this work on mobile browsers?
Yes — the tool works on mobile Chrome, Safari, and other mobile browsers. Chrome extensions don't work on mobile at all, so a web-based tool is the only practical option for mobile analysis.
