Most SEO guidelines suggest keeping a single keyword's density around 1-2% to read naturally and avoid keyword stuffing, though there is no fixed rule and context matters more than an exact percentage.

Why are words like 'the' and 'and' missing?

Common stop words are filtered out using a built-in list so the table highlights meaningful keywords. Total word count still includes every word in your text.
