How the result is decided

  • PassNo meta keywords tag.
  • WarningThe tag is present.

Why it matters

Google ignores meta keywords. The tag does nothing for rankings and shows competitors which terms you target.

How to fix it

Remove the tag from your templates. Many SEO plugins have a setting for it.

After the fix, open the page’s report and choose Run again to confirm it passes.
