Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why is keyword density important in copywriting and SEO?
A: Keyword density represents the percentage of times a keyword appears in a text compared to the total word count. While search engines no longer rely on simple keyword stuffing, keeping keyword density between 1-2% helps search crawlers identify the main topic of your page without triggering spam filters.
Q: How are reading time and speaking time estimated?
A: Reading time is calculated based on a standard silent reading speed of approximately 238 words per minute (WPM). Speaking time is modeled at roughly 140 WPM, which is the average pace for clear narration, voiceovers, and video presentations.
Q: Does this tool store my text data?
A: No, all text analysis and processing happen locally in your web browser. Your text content is never sent to a server, ensuring complete privacy and security for your drafts.
