Using density to improve a page
A list of your most used words is a quick read of what the text is really about. If the phrase you want the page to be found for doesn’t appear near the top, the page may not be clearly about it. If one word dominates the list far more than the others, read the text aloud: it probably sounds repetitive, and synonyms or rewording will read better.
Phrases matter more than single words
People search in phrases, and two- and three-word phrases show the topics of a page better than single words, which are often too general. Check that the phrases in your title and headings also show up in the body, and look for useful related phrases you haven’t used yet. Pair this with the word counter for length and reading time, and the SERP preview for how the page appears in search.
