About this tool

Duplicate and near-duplicate content wastes crawl budget and splits ranking signals. Paste two texts (or fetch two URLs) to get an exact similarity percentage using word-shingle overlap and cosine similarity, with matching passages highlighted.

How to use the Duplicate Content Detector

  1. Paste or fetch the two pieces of content.
  2. Run the comparison to get similarity scores.
  3. Rewrite or canonicalize pages that overlap heavily (over ~30%).

Frequently asked questions

How much similarity is a problem?

Boilerplate overlap is normal; body content above ~30–40% similar deserves a rewrite or a canonical tag.

Is there a duplicate content penalty?

Not a penalty per se — but Google filters duplicates from results, so only one version wins.
