The Plagiarism Checker tool is useful for checking whether any content in your text has been copied verbatim from another source. If your website contains plagiarized content, search engines may penalize it.

Here's how you can use it

When you click on the Plagiarism icon, a box will appear that allows you to select the amount of text you want to check for plagiarism.

Make sure to highlight at least 200 characters, and no more than 4000 characters.

That's "approximately" 50 - 1000 words at a time. Then click on the check plagiarism button.

a) If no plagiarism found, it will show a green check which means it's safe to continue. Words will be deducted from the plagiarism words allowance.

b) If plagiarism is found, a red warning will appear, indicating that you may need to paraphrase the article to make it more original and reduce the risk of having plagiarized content. Words will be deducted from the plagiarism words allowance.

Note: The tool provides you with a word-for-word match with the article. It also provides the percentage of the words matched.

Please let us know if that was helpful!
