Frequently asked
How are words counted?
Text is lowercased and split on spaces and punctuation, so 'Cat' and 'cat' count as the same word. Numbers count as words; apostrophes inside a word (like don't) are kept. Each word's share of the total is shown as a percentage.
What does 'ignore common words' do?
It filters out high-frequency function words like the, a, and, of, and to, so the ranking surfaces the meaningful terms. This is closer to the keyword density writers and SEOs care about.
